Hi WL!

I'm so glad that this turned out ok. You have jumped another hurdle in the R game.

A similar thing happened to me with my BF about 2 years ago. We had been together a couple of years at that point. We miscommunicated just before I went on a week's holiday with friends. I needed so much for him to call me but he did not. I hurt SO badly. I was sure our R was over. He did call the minute I got home (he knew when that would be). He had thought I would want space - DUH - I wanted reassurance, affirmation. But let's remember - Men are from Mars, while we are from Venus. I had a week to see if I really wanted to keep the R and so did he. When we finally talked about it we both cried A LOT. We both admitted that neither of us wanted to end it. We discussed what had gone wrong and we agreed not to let it happen again. And it has not.

There are things we should NEVER put up with in a R. There are things we might not want to happen in a R. But it's a grey area. Communication is key. So are second chances. But third, fourth, fifth chances? No way!

I think that only you know what you can accept and not accept. I think a second chance is in order.

Let us know how it goes.
