we texted today which was our mutual birthday. he said he will call soon and we'll talk. I didn't respond. It has not been 3 months I was wrong it was 2 months since we talked last but still too long for me to be worried what his next move is. i have been dating casually a lot and have 3 dates this week with 3 different men....it is great to meet new people and have new friends. If he calls down the road i hope we can be friends but i will never tolerate him running like that again. grown ups talk about what their needs are and they dont just abandon people...i felt abandoned...no contact nothing...went from great to nothing...i will never go there again with him. if we do remain friends i will make it clear next time he needs a little space fine....but what he did was take off when he gets stressed and that doesn't work for me.
