The hard thing is to not get my hopes up. He says things like "I miss you" " i know I'll want to come home soon". How can I not get my hopes up? I have to play it cool because if I get excited, I'll just be crushed if he decides he doesn't want to be with me in the long run. Plus, playing it cool makes him act differently. This detaching thing really does work. I just don't know when I let him back in? (If he even comes back)
