    She listened and was super supportive. Helped me a lot talking with her about it. But she also said, right after, that she could not date me anymore.

    What knee jerk reaction? She was supportive and helped him.

    She didn’t owe him a relationship because he opened up to her. She owed him respect and support which she gave.

        You don’t know that she realized a relationship wouldn’t work because she felt he was weak for sharing. It could be that she has past trauma as well that wouldn’t mesh with his. There’s many possibilities here.

        The important thing is that she was supportive and honest. Can’t ask another person for more than that.
