Your recent texts about Jack are a bit concerning. If your just looking for a hook up and nothing serious, I get it. But some of the issues that stand out to me.
1. He doesn’t text. That’s not healthy or normal from a guy that really likes you and wants a relationship with you. 2. He’s unemployed chronically and by choice. That’s a huge red flag and you deserve better. 3. He hasn’t introduced you to friends or family. That shows he doesn’t take you seriously. 4. He’s much younger. I get the appeal. But a lot of these younger guys date older woman for the physical connection and are embarrassed to really commit to them. (That being said my brother married a woman much older then him ) 5. People close to you don’t like him.
It sounds like you are spackling a bit. I recognize it because I did that a lot. Like “it’s ok that he cancelled plans cause I was tired anyway”. No it’s not ok. That’s not ok and reveals that he doesn’t value you that much.
It’s hard to end things but trust me. Ending something that is not right for you or harmful to your soul gives you a lot of power. It’s a test from the universe that you are not gonna accept mediocrity and crappy behavior from the universe anymore.
More importantly, it opens up space for people that will appreciate you and cherish and value you.
Do you feel loved and cherished and respected by him? ( Not just when he’s with you and wants to get physical)
You sounds like a smart, beautiful and successful and independent woman. I think you deserve more.
