Partner left after 9 yrs - I finally detached!??

[AliSuddenly]

My Mum, who knows him well said, he WAS honest that night, he only is when he's had a drink, and perhaps he knew he needed us to be out like that in order to talk to me. He said he NEEDED to talk to me, but he openly admits he finds it hard to talk, but not when he has had a drink of course.

Cyrena.. another thing, my Mum was asking, WHY did he allow such a public show like that? But he wasnt THAT drunk.. he interupted our talk a few times and said sorry but he was worried about his brother and tried to wake him and he apologised he needed the loo but dashed straight back to me and carried on the convo and checked on his brother (who had gone outside) but again came back.. so.. he was compis mentis..but also didnt seem to care ALL his friends in Cornwall were out and saw him, ones who all know he's with her... so it has puzzled me, why he would do such a reckless thing, whilst still with her?

Also, we were in a popular late night bar and its a small town, so ANYONE could have seen him, arms around me, crying and reported back to her.. I am sure he would realise there could be people out she knows, its the main town and its 15 mins from where she lives. So perhaps thats it, he was hoping news would reach her and she would ask him WTF were you doing with your arms around your ex, crying !??

If I were her, I would take that as a worrying sign of my bf's commitment to me...
