No response yet, can't tell if he is not interested, doesn't know what to do, or is respecting my request for space. Seems that all our relationship he leaves and then comes back. He never did that in his other relationships - he usually walked out and never went back. I always think this is the time he will not come back. Maybe that time is now.
But I have to remember that I am the one who has been setting limits on what is acceptable and what is not. I have to remember that I am taking control over my life - and giving him room to take control over his.
The hard part for me is the thought that when we get there will we be able to work this out or worse - what if one gets there and the other doesn't. I am miserable.
