Its no excuse.  

You have every right to be disgusted with him and the situation.  Period.

Although it’s clearly his problem…

Anxiety, depression, what the problem I don’t care..

Hes still no fool and he needs to learn that you can’t do what he’s doing to people and trying to pawn it off as if he’s doing you some kind of favor.

What bothers me most about this situation is the way he did this.  Very insensitive to your feelings. He should be more mature and in tune than that.

If his problems cause him to act ‘that’ erratic he needs to address that before getting into some relationship. Although I do commend your insight and compassion for him – it doesn’t mean his problems need to effect you as well.

Nothing should be this complicated it hurt like that.

Although it makes you wonder sometimes if the happy medium with all this is to simply spend time with others and call it day.

I know… I know… it sounds empty and uninspiring. Especially as you get older.  It seems to go against our very nature… and it is a little no matter how we try to dress it up and bring so called wisdom to it.

Being with the person or even the “one” you love and cherish is a beauftul thing like nothing else and most all people are built to want that and be a little vulnerable to another person. To me it seems to give life purpose – but geez I see it backfiring for so many too.
