In fact he was mean during arguments while we were living together too. There were times that I felt it bordered on the verbally abusive, although he never called me names or anything like that. It was a bad pattern. I wouldn't leave him alone, he'd ask for space, then say horrible things. So we were both responsible. I think I mentioned that even before we started dating he would make mean comments when his feelings were hurt.
Now I think he is incredibly hurt and those mean words really show it. The sad thing is that I know he is very close to just throwing in the towel, in a good way, and saying we should try it again, and this is why he is afraid to be around me. He said so much in his last email. Anyway I will be very careful and kind when I am at the house next week. I have been given a great opportunity here, and I will do my very best not to blow it! Good thing is that if he DOES yell of be mean or something, I will be in a position to just take the dogs for a walk and leave, unlike IM :).
