I told him he was the best thing g to ever happen to me and he was the hardest working man I know. He just said..

Hard day--him confirming he's staying with a female friend who wants to be more than friends. I wish more situations were turned around by the LBS bravely putting themselves out there like you did.

If he does that again, remember Validation is usually more effective than Disagreement.
H: Stop. You lost interest in me. You: You felt like I wasn't interest in you.
