Unsolicited advice: If he makes you happy and is supportive when you are going through stuff, think about why you are setting the boundary of needing space.

If you are doing it because you don’t have time to focus on the relationship, that might be fair but think about the joy you get from this person and weigh that against the stress of managing your time.

If you are doing it because you don’t want this guy to see you like this out of a sense of guilt or shame, you aren’t being fair to yourself or him. You should be honest about your concerns and with him rather than making a unilateral decision. Maybe he is happy to be around you too and wants to support you through these stressful times.

If he messaged you and is thinking of you he is probably open to an honest conversation. If you communicate your concerns and boundaries clearly you might be able to maintain a happy and healthy relationship with someone who wants to be supportive of you.

Well he didn't know there wasn't any water until trying to flush. At least around here, our toilets have water in the bottom, and the way it flushes is you dump lots of water from the tank in, and it goes through this S bend thingymajiggy, and it's flushed, and new water is in the bottom. I dunno if other toilets work differently. But in our house, a dry toilet will flush once, and then it won't refill the tank, but there'll be water in the bowl. If you use it after this point, you might find yourself in a pickle. But you won't know there's no water till you try flushing.

This happened to me once (I was the gf) but there was a huge giant monster turd in there…. but no toilet paper. Had I not been so young and confused I probably would have dumped that guy too. Because not only did he plug up my toilet. But he’s clearly a psychopath
