Hey there,

Sorry to hear your recent situation’s been a rough one. I like Lucia’s advice above – asking for a list of things he DOES like about you. Not only will it remind him of why he’s in this, it will remind YOU of some good things about yourself, which it sounds like you need right now. It sounds to me like you’ve lost some self confidence and you are looking to him to give it to you. You need to find it within yourself. Maybe instead of HIM writing a list of things he likes about you, YOU just need to write a list to yourself of the things you love about you. Sound corny? Try it anyway. 🙂

If you know you have some issues to work on (passive aggression, being stubborn, etc.) then work on them because it will make YOU feel better. All the apologies and promises to do better sound to me like you are desperate to keep him with you. And that could be what’s driving him away. When we try to hold on to something (especially another person!) too tightly, they just want OUT. I think the most important thing you can do right now is just remind yourself what about YOU is unique and great.
