26 [M4A] Question: Fake promise?
Is the promise where "If I/we reach 30+ yrs old, can we try again" something to hold on to or not?
For context, this kind of promise was presented to me by my ex, then followed with my recent situationship. I figured na if I held on and be there, they'd think of me and possibly "fast track" the process. Sadly puros nang ghost sa ako efforts but still tried (I'm dense af in reading if they don't wanna see me anymore cuz they didn't explicitly say).
Few weeks later, I got some chika where naa na daw sila bag.o and said chika has been a source of my anxieties for chasing new relationships. I opened up this weird promise thing to a friend of mine and said it was sketchy cuz I became a "plan B" or the "settle for less" option.
So I wanna ask the others dri if promises or statements like this something to look forward to? I just need closure to know I'm not closing opportunities especially since I was ready to commit and be serious on these relationships (not at the same time, separately). I don't even know what the norm of dating is, so di ko ganahan mag badmouth about how they do their thing even if it hurts me (or rather hurting myself since all this overthinking kay ako rang binuhat lol).
TLDR: Two relationships of mine have been turned down, but left with a promise na "when they're 30+, I can try again". Is it worth the wait when I'm hearing rumors that they're seeing someone?
