Well depends what your definition of "being a man" is Neaj. Can men not be sensitive and be a 'man', perhaps thats a generational thing? But I am not painting an accurate picture. He is sensitive, but not really needy or moody (NEVER moody). And certainly never temperamental. In fact, I was so shocked when he left me because he is the least temperamental person I know. He is very even tempered usually.

He had a breakdown and hasnt been 'himself' for the past 2 years (?).. much like BNDs H when he flew 3000 miles away and wouldnt see his kids. Thats not the man she fell in love with and married.

I dont seek out needy and depressed, I meant I am fine with other peoples suffering, its all part of the human spectrum. I have had depression myself twice in my lifetime. But I agree he is emotioanally immature (childish if you like then).. else he wouldnt have walked out. He needed to grow up. I dont think he has done yet, but I hope he has learnt some things, like he needs to learn to TALK if there is a problem in future.

Naej, I noticed on someone elses thread you only spoke to your H 4 times after he left you. Thats pretty shocking. Did he refuse to speak to you then? Could you contact him now, for closure?
