Hi Snowball,
No worries, I didn't take it as you being harsh or mean!
There were a couple things I should've clarified (for example, after I gave him my number, HE was the one doing the chasing...I never once called or texted him first except when he withdrew, and even then it was ONE call and ONE text a day for a period of two days before a week of non-communication and the final text) but the gist is true. He knew I cared for him more than he cared for me, and he took advantage.
About 20 minutes after I sent my "goodbye" text (which really, was just me telling him that I was hurt and I would've maintained a lot more respect for him if he had just told me he wanted a friends with benefits relationship), he assured me that wasn't it, he was just confused. The only reason I texted him all that was for my own benefit, to get it off my chest once and for all. When he wrote back, I texted him I didn't need excuses when his actions did all the explaining. I haven't spoken to him since (about three weeks)...no calls or texts. It hurts when I look at my phone and he hasn't called, but like you said, he can be a creep with someone else.
The only problem is I can't get him out of my head. I admittedly check his facebook sometimes...but I know it's wrong so I've banned myself from doing it these past couple days. I just feel broken hearted, he told me that I felt right to him...that he was just taking it slow but that he wanted more from us. And then he disappeared. I really wish I had made up the whole relationship in my head, I'd probably be over it by now. But he was so sincere, so gallant...I don't know if I could ever trust again. Yes, I only knew him for a month...but it felt like I had known him my whole life, and he seemingly reciprocated the feeling.
It gets a little better every day though :). I'm sure I'll be there soon...I apologize if I sound defensive! Honestly, I just felt I should expand a little more as my earlier comment sounded like I was delusional haha. Thank you for your advice...I love this forum, everyone is helpful!
Blessings!
