You messed up. And you need to completely own that.
No excuses from the baby or holidays or anything else. You contacted the store to ask about returning. That's more than just considering it.
My ex rarely celebrated my birthday much. I would make my own cake and invite my friends over and cook for them and whatnot. But one year he got me a necklace. It was a pi necklace that when connected lit up. It wasn't my style but it was a sweet gesture. He even asked after a few months why I didn't wear it and I told him 1) I didn't wear much jewelry but 2) that I get much appreciated the thought he took to buy it but that it wasn't something I'd wear often. I'm sure it hurt his feelings a little but not nearly the amount of asking about returning it would. Hell, I still have that necklace and I've worn it maybe once.
Sometimes gifts aren't about you and you should realize that.
I have boys my sons age hit on me a lot. Some are quite persistent. I block them. There is nothing a 25 year old could do to seduce me. They are like children to me. And no. There is no such thing as mature for your age.
Take the dive and try something new. Maybe one day you could rent your own chair like hair salons offer their stylists.
However, beware of the coding boot camps bc I've heard bad things about the “guaranteed employment after training” ones (essentially they hound you until you find work, and there are some weird clauses in their contracts). Maybe dip your toe with some community college classes instead.
He told you himself why he would act this way. He could never look his son in the eye if he went forward.
That's putting the onus on the son, but it may also be that your crush knows this could never work. He's a completely different generation than you. He's going to find you immature eventually and you're going to find him tired and washed up eventually.
She actually just spent it 100 here 400 there 75 here and so on it was not put back just don't know what she spent it on
Really? You don’t think a 26 year old can convince an old guy that he really wants to marry her? Gold-diggers don’t exist?

Yep. Troll. Ewwww.
What does his mom think of her friends behaviour? Has she picked up on it yet?
Why do you think a chair is more “clean” than a hotel floor? People put their butts on the chair.
It's clear he doesn't care about you, so I think it's time to move on. This is likely him trying to end the relationship without saying so explicitly.

Thank you.
We did break up and have been no contact for 5 months (no contact from me at least) but this feels like a Bandaid being ripped off all over again.
