If he's changing his plans for the reasons that he says - to see family - then I'm a bit disappointed and not thrilled with being told at the last moment, but I'll be okay and this will just go down in the annals of uncool things that H. did during this lousy time.

If he's lying to see his online friend, then I don't know. That would be a pretty big betrayal, and I would probably have to give some thought to whether I wanted to continue working on this, or at least think about how I want to work on it. I'm already creeped out by the situation. I suspect it would also shift the dynamics and I would be a lot more adamant about seeing commitment to doing the work and to changing from him.

If he's lying for a job interview, then I'm somewhere in the middle. Trying to reestablish his life hundreds of miles away from me is also not cool, particularly since he doesn't seem to be giving the relationship a shot. But this I'd be willing to forgive more readily than infidelity. That said, I already knew about that as a possibility, so I don't know why he'd lie about it now.

Is that what you meant by implications?
