After reading countless threads, I realize the "friend" role may be the best route for him if he is going to return.
Ummmmm...beginning to regret my vehement stance over a month ago.
HOWEVER: he pretty much ignored my statement, and we have been in contact quite a bit more the last month than the previous months.
I realize I reacted out of hurt and fear- knee jerk reaction. While I don't want to see him a lot (or at all) right now, I would still like to maintain a connection. Gee, could this be what they feel like after the MLC script flies out of their mouth???? I now know what it feels like to act out of emotion! Ugh!!!
I'm guessing I should just continue to speak via my actions and build on things...should I retract my statement (I'm afraid it would come off as pursuing- he DEFINITELY pushes back if I'm too nice. HE'S the only one allowed to be nice for some reason...)??
My gut says not to bring it up- that would be considered R talk...put my money where my mouth is, basically. Right??
