Thank you for your reply. He did repeatedly tell me it was up to me if I did not want to live in “limbo”….I guess I found it too hard to be the one to end it or felt like he was looking for an easy way out to relieve guilt. I am not sure. I do feel some responsibility as I know he has some frustrations and hurt that maybe the one month of not talking was not enough. I would hint at jobs available there and he would say “I can’t make any decisions for you”….. though the tough thing is I would be moving there solely to be with him and so I am not going to move if I am not wanted in someones life.
I sent a long heartfelt message about wanting to understand and listen to his concerns, he has read it, but no response. My plan as of now is to not contact him. I do still plan on visiting there in about a month, I have friends to see and so no intent on seeing him unless he reaches out.
I guess I am asking if it is realistic to think if more time and space can allow the frustration to settle, reaching out with a lighthearted text in a month or so and seeing what happens? What are your thoughts on that? I am just not ready to move on from this completely right now, but willing to set it aside.
