I'm rather amused by the MLCers who actually talk. Mine says nothing that is not a lie he is setting up or an insult of some kind. Nothing ever about feelings. He plays everything close to the vest, but oddly likes to find creepy ways to make sure I know where he lives. Not sure what that is about.
You know this, but you have a long, long time to go. If you let these things bother you, it will be painful and keep you stuck. He is stringing you along with the temporary thing. Just accept that he is gone. If he comes around begging to come back in a few years and you are interested in the person in front of you, you can decide whether to take him back or not. But buying into this temporary nonsense will keep you in never-ending pain and you will blow up every time instead of just saying, ok H thanks for letting me know. I don't really know of many folks that don't have at least one false return pretty early on. So even if he does come back soon, expect that he will bolt again. If he doesn't great. Just don't be a walking wound for him.
