Maybe pushed to see how committed he was to the relationship and I got my answer? Does that make sense?
Yes it makes sense. I think this phase is the hardest on the LBS. You need to leave a trail leading home but not push too hard. It seems there is no clear cut way to react.
I certainly can not tell you what you need to do for you. I would hope that it won't go on for years. But I definitely can offer encouragement.
