A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

So my bf and I had plans to live together in an apartment. We have been dating for over a year. But then we got into a fight and in theory made up. When we did he turned around and said he didn't want to live with me anymore. Well I was upset but I accepted it because I wanted him to be completely committed to something like that.

So I thought things would get better but boy was I wrong! After he told me about his decision regarding the apartment he cut himself off from me completely. I was upset but I understood that he needed his space so I kept my feelings to myself until he saw me again. He came over a week later and so I asked if he was ok and if I could do anything to help feel more comfortable since I noticed he was avoiding me. So then out of nowhere he says he just wants to be friends. I begged and pleading with him to reconsider but it was no use.

This happened last tuesday. I'm heartbroken but I still want to work things out. However I realize that the best thing I can do right now is to give him his space. I'm doing to keep me distracted in the meantime. I have a feeling that his feelings can turn around because he has made impulsive decisions before and turned around quickly.

Now here's where I don't know what to do. He called me friday and I ignored it. Then he texted me asking how my trip I had been planning for this weekend was. He's acting like nothing happened. I haven't replied to his text either but I don't know if that's a good idea. I don't want to be his friend. I want to talk to him after he's had some time to think so we can work on this. He says he still loves me so I don't know what his intentions are right now? And should I respond to him or not?
