Portia, I think you did great on that text exchange. I like snodderly’s insights about that comment. I also think that it means he has not found what he was looking for. I think you are doing the right thing to end the conversation for now and wait for him to contact you again. This is for your own benefit. I’ve been doing the same thing. I question myself sometimes that this the right way to go, but then I remember the phrase I read somewhere “Never chase love, affection, or attention. If it isn't given freely by another person, it isn't worth having.” So, if my H wants to establish any kind of relationship or connection with me, he will find the way to do it. I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing.
