Dating someone high-profile, do I have a chance to rebuild after fight?
We work in film and he is a famous director, I’m not as famous as he is but I also have some solid credits under my belt. Also he is almost 40 and I’m 26, so there’s a significant age gap.
He approached me and gave me his number, and we met, talked the whole night away, confessed we like each other and he said he wants to see me more. Because he’s super busy, he invited me to his house offering me to work on my stuff alongside him so we can both get stuff done and spend time together. He was super nice this whole time but then bad thing happened.
On that day I got on a call with my work and got laid off (which didn’t surprise me that much as my industry is going through a flood of lay offs), this upset me and made me feel really bad. I looked for some comfort and validation from him, but he refused, essentially saying I should figure out my stuff on my own and that I’ll be okay cause I have no other choice. I talked about it with my therapist and I see that I haven’t done everything right (we were going out just 3 days) so I understand I could approach the situation differently or maybe just go back home but I was emotionally really unwell. Then when we slept that night I felt so bad I decided to leave the house and go back to mine. Sent him a text and he just focused his anger at me for not taking all stuff at once and leaving them at his. When I came back to pick them up he didn’t even wanna talk about the situation.
I thought it was the end of everything but then he reached out to me wanting to see updates of my art and complimented me how talented I am. He didn’t mention the fight or attempted to discuss it, just changed the subject like nothing happened. It’s been 4 days tho and he hasn’t been reaching out
I feel like we had started something great and so good and then my life situation got in the way. I don’t wanna lose it but he seemed so irritated with me, I feel like perhaps he doesn’t consider me romantically anymore (until I sort my life out)
