Slow and steady wins the race... hopefully!

your not stupid at all, and there was nothing wrong with your text. I think you are right that he does not respond because he feels pressured. Don’t send another one because you don't want to add to that pressure plus you have nothing to apologize for.

I know what you mean about feeling like a failure, I feel that a lot. Sometimes I wonder if its love or fear of admitting failure that keeps me going. I know deep inside its love but I hate failing, and I hate the idea of trying to tell someone some day that I have already failed once. I guess it is what it is and I would rather fall flat on my face in failure then give up, and that goes for anything!!
