I validated his feelings and told him that I would like some time to sit on things and circle back around when its not so emotional. (Got that from the validation thread).
I know he is trying to cake eat. Throwing me bread crumbs. He has never said to me that he isnt ready to move on and he isnt over me. He also said he misses us. But I didnt say anything back to him in regards to me feeling the same way. I said "I have some things to think about for myself and maybe we can circle back around to this when it isnt so emotional."
