Hey ITH... if he says he feels caged... then the loving thing to do is to open the door. Its no good YOU saying "I think the best way for this to work is to be around each other" as HE is the one with the problem? Unfortunately, you dont have the power here, he is taking it all, he must feel the need to do that so all you can do is relinquish it. I had to, and I understand that now.
I'm so sorry that he did that to you, I guess I was waiting for him to 'blow', but dont panic, I thikn if you give him what he wants, in a respectful, loving way, kind of, I love you, I am always here, but I set you free... who knows, he may cycle back around and realise that he DOES want to be with you.
I know its so hard. I'm thinking of you,
