We are still dating, Michele, and the past couple days he’s been acting normal with me. Hasn’t brought it up again, and I honestly don’t think he will. The whole thing just baffled me. He’s been weird since his sons been here. Like depressed. And he’s been out of work, too, which has been depressing him and making him feel worthless I’m pretty sure. He just hasn’t been himself. I’m hoping that once his son leaves and he starts his new job next week, he’ll go back to his normal self and maybe then we can talk about what happened here.
Cheryl, I agree with you that he shouldn’t have treated me like that. But it was only for one phone conversation, and then neither of us mentioned it since. I should say that I worry profusely and have severe dating anxiety, so the way I recount events may be… warped.
This “respect” thing is so hard for me coz I feel like it means I have to put my own needs on the back burner…
