Ok, I feel like I have to give everyone else here a 2x4...
Thanks for the 2x4s M but number 1 she clearly isn't his plan B. He has been pretty open that he would love to reconcile and number 2 that can't really have a relationship talk when there not in a relationship.
There is nothing wrong with stating what he wants through actions or words as long is he is ok with walking away if she can't give him what he wants.
Yeah everyone loves a recon story it gives new posters hope.
