Expecting too much? I think you don't expect enough my dear. I am glad he was empathetic to you when you told him. But you are still keeping a lot from him. Give him a chance to be there for you now.
I'm sure it will take a long time to trust after he left you and all - but try it little by little. You shared some of your experience and he responded lovingly so try a little more next time. This will help decrease the build up of anxiety that leads you know where ....ODPland!
