Bright - just saw your note from last week 5/15 about being angry. I have many of the same feelings - how could I have been so foolish? I know there were flags; but I believed his words, not his actions.

Just be careful putting too much emphasis on friend's opinions of your situation as they have no idea the road you have each walked on which brought you together or the true ups/downs within your relationship. Friend's often don't know what to say so end up saying what they think we want to hear.

Make decisions because they feel right for you and where you are right now.

If you continue to wait, figure out what you waiting for. What do you actually want from him. There is nothing wrong with having an unwritten checklist or deadline that you are working towards.
