and that he felt nauseated and that I "should never contact him again"
Yea the irony! You didnt contact him. HE CONTACTED YOU. You walked away and decided that you didnt need the toxicity that came with him and his lifestyle. He had no right to say those things to you. Plus what were you supposed to do? Stay single forever for him?
Makes no sense. You are SUPPOSED to move forward and find great people to be in your life. Chin up!
