A belated thank you (seriously) to your replies. It’s funny, the day after I put this up, he contacted me with all kinds of apologies, including apologies for hurting me/ making me feel bad (he used the word ‘feel’ haha). I thought maybe I had been overreacting and that all was well between us. But once again we’re in another cycle of hurt feelings and miscommunication, so I’ve come back here to read your kind words and remind myself that it’s time to move on. Thank you.
