LOL, yes those fealings can be so conflicting. You know what should happen but wonder what if this happened. Probably best that you were not there but bad that assumptions were made as to why. You would have thought he would call to see where you were and to let you know what was being removed from the house since you were not there. I don't know, just not my nature, he seems so passive to the point of running from something, but you have said he has been this way for a while or at least thats how I remembered it. Anyway at least you can look forward to activities on your own and stay active which is good for you. I know I didn't like the thought of doing things without the lady that I was seeing. So many things that you share with each other, so many things that are of similar interest to experience and suddenly that added intrigue is not there, that added spice is gone and added humor of someone's point of view is absent. Yep it sucks but you learn to live without it. There are times where I will see something or hear it and think of picking up the phone to share only to remember things are not the same anymore. We still talk and email but for now she is getting the space she needs to work things out. For me I have found new things to do and I am having fun doing them. I do miss her terribly. For now its a trust issue for her from a marriage that failed and another relationship before me so I don't think its going to work unless she can take that step and trust me enough to move forward. If she can't make that step we can't move on which is sad.
