Dear michellec, he doesn't want to be your fantasy of him--he wants to be who is, right now. If he wanted to be different--he would already be.
2 months is nothing compared to a lifetime. He was just "whiteknuckling".
Honey, you have recieved such honest and experiences advice from the other posters. They have lived the life---they want to save you from the pain. Trust them--believe them.
You are so young--you can have anything you truly want. YOU DONT NEED THIS CRAP.
SINCERELY, DANDYLION
