Quote: A big part of me thinks that pushing him now is the wrong tactic.
I agree whole heartedly...pushing him now would not be a good idea (imho)
Quote: To be blunt, I don't think he's recommitted at all right now --
that may be true but not in the fashion you are thinking...it was obvious that h was trying to get closer to you...with the exception of ow talks...perhaps he's just as scared as you have been and this sudden show of uncertainty...mistrust...etc..from you has put a damper on his efforts...(yes yes the ole...I'm doing all this and she's still not happy...she's still hung up on ow)
Quote: I think I may just need to "drop the rope" on this one. If he comes back to me...well, maybe then it will feel to him like a good decision, on his own terms.
would droping the rope entail not "needing" verbal reassurance from him that all is well?
Quote: Still in school today but will sneak peaks at the board now and then. I've been pretty selfishly focused on my own thread due to the limited time...
nothing selfish about it at all sage...you've hit a bump and it's understandable that you'd get consumed by it.
