But I don't even know why I ask because he has said that in the past and did still have contact in the past.
I find myself feeling this exact thing often. I need some voluntary sharing of information! For them though, 1-it's not in their natures, 2-they don't want to keep going back to it, they want to move forward and forget the whole crappy deal.
I also have those feelings--it happened before, it can happen again. How do I know he's not lying?
Trust. Sometimes it seems like Mt. Everest. But you know what? People climb that mountain all the time. So can we.
