Wow, that's a lot Michelle. Sorry to hear this. I was surprised to see so many new pages on your thread, just caught up.

The short version, he wasn't happy, he's still not happy, he doesn't know what he needs to be happy. But it's not fair to me to have to deal with that.
That says it all IMO. You know you can't do anything to help that, right? You're doing a decent job of letting him miss you, but need to do more. The dog stuff would drive me absolutely nuts.
As for the commitment issue, as a guy I can tell you there wasn't any from the start. As soon as the feelings were gone he knew he could peace out. Of course, the same is true in marriage realistically, but at least there's commitment there.
The most fascinating comments to me are about having kids (why did that come up?), and not loving you as much as you love him. That's obviously true, but why does he feel so bad about it? It almost seems like he knows it's time to get serious, or not. That friends with benefits just doesn't work past 3 years. Honestly, I think he's right.
So, what do YOU want?
