Hope you are having a great trip! Sorry you were let down at Christmas. Keep in mind that when Gabe acts weird, it is almost certainly because he feels bad about his own actions, so try not to personalize it. If he feels bad, it is about HIM, not about you.
What are your New Year's Resolutions? How about:
1) Live authentically. Stop being on your guard. Simply be yourself. 2) Stop making choices that hurt you. 3) Stop assuming you have perfect insight into what Gabe wants or feels. You don't. 5) Continue to own your choices. 6) Get back on the Wii.
You can never have a good relationship with anyone if YOU aren't who you want to be in the relationship.
