Why didnt he want to say goodbye in person?

I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I’m afraid that it means his cat has died.

Please—how can anyone know? I suppose he could be avoiding you. It could be a million other things, including the death of a cat. Maybe he’s afraid of saying goodbye. Maybe he didn’t want to cry. Maybe he didn’t want to tell you it was over.

The only way you will know is if you talk to him. The fact that you feel you have to talk to strangers before you talk to him is worrisome. So go. Talk to him. Stop making mountains out of molehills. Calm down, pick up your phone, and talk. Really talk.

He probably wanted to make it easier for the separation You won’t be able to see him every day so he probably distanced himself from you.

There were a hundred things that needed to be done before he left.
He had to go to the attorney, the bank, pack his stuff, clean up the house, say goodbye to his parents and other friends, shut off utilities, change address, etc. If he was with you could have have done that? I’m guessing “No”.

Perhaps he was finding it difficult to actually say goodbye to you, and thought a two-day break would help him (and you) come to terms with being without each other.
Only time will tell whether the relationship is really over.

I’d start hunting me a new boyfriend. Even if he was just busy, he should have called.

How long have you been dating? I’m sorry, but this does not sound right. I wouldn’t have let the 2 days go by w/o talking to him and asking “what’s up?” Did you make arrangements in so far as how and when you are going to see each other and how will you go about the relationship? You need to phone him and ask directly. Always go to the source. Ask the person. Some people have problems w/ telling the truth or expressing themselves so watch body movements and listen to their voices. Good luck.

I agree with @SVTSuzie . You should ask him directly without make it any harder with your mind.

I also agree with “partyparty“s answer. It’s possible. But ask him.

The best way to figure that one out is to ask him. My guess would be that goodbye’s are uncomfortable for him and so it was easier to avoid you.

Yes I agree with @SVTSuzie… phone him and ask directly if everything is going fine, and perhaps mention he didn’t contact you for the two days before he left.

I did talk to him multiple times before he left and when he got there. He did mention he had so much to do and did tell me when we were talking about things, that this move was not easy for him.

Well as I said in my original answer, he must have found it difficult to leave without you.
Just accept this as his reason for not contacting you….. until, or unless, you find out differently, Good luck

Have you spoken since?

Yep!

And?
