Sorry quick update. He told me he had admirers but would let me know if there was someone special. I told him I was still sad and lonely and wanted him back even though I was getting on with my life. He then said several times that it was over and I must move on as he had. I wanted to make absolutely sure before I accepted it, so I asked him "is that forever then? No possibilities of you coming back to find me in a few months, like you previously said? " He didn't reply for about half an hour whilst I waited for the final bullet. But to my surprise he said "I'm not going to say there is no chance, but not in the imediate future. It's not right that you wait." So here I am again, not sure what's going on. Weirdly after that text exchange, I have started to think much less of him and am not even sure I want him back now. I am starting to see how badly he has treated me and I'm not sure I want any more of that. Primarily because he is unaware of his bad behaviour and blames it all on me, so no hope of improving it. He says his temper is my fault and so he has left me because he doesn't like himself like this!? He described himself as Dr Jeckhall/mr Hyde which is exactly right. Sooooo confused.
