Dear Msara67:

Your communication with him regarding needing space can easily be understood as confirmation that indeed you needed space. And he accommodated your assertion for space. It is unreasonable to have expected him to read your mind, to identify the fact that you didn’t whole heartedly wanted space.

What he did was to respect what you expressed to him, and that was positive, good behavior on his part.

The fact that he got involved with another woman, that is no indication of your lack of worth, but of the fact that there are other women available for a relationship with him, and she and he were ready to date.

Your anger at him is not indicative that he did anything wrong (he didn’t do anything wrong from your post)- it is indicative of your pre-existing feelings of hurt and anger.
