Hi again – as usual, our friend Matt is incredibly wise and kind. Great advise Matt…

The only thing I can add to your additional questions Jen, is that I think you are on track with the text about his car – that’s a nice light communication. It lets him know you are thinking of him, that he is still important to you and that you don’t want to create any additional stress for him. I WOULD LEAVE IT THERE. If anything, just wait a few days and send another light & loving text. He knows how to reach you. He’s really kind of in a tough place, sounds like – the best way you can love him at this point is to just be supportive. Don’t be something else he has to deal with – give him time, and keep yourself busy and growing too.

After what you’ve just said, it seems evident that he is not interested in any other gal. What a relief. His brother confirms this, which is great.

Hang on loosely! Good luck, truly, keep us posted and yes, please take care of yourself, because YOU need love and support too.
