I have, actually. I even went as far as to say that if he hadn't left, if I didn't force the issue, that I may not have been there a year later. That by his own admission he didn't love me. Those vibes are felt.
I said that he tends to have a pattern of making people do things by causing it, so he doesn't have to take responsibility. In this case, I ventured, if he pulled away enough, I would leave.
