relationship problem ----- From: Hope - Date: 01 Dec 1997

yeah, I got a problem in a relationship. It's a very long story. Basically, I ended a relationship with a person and am now regretting it. I did not want the relationship to be over and ended it. He, I believe, wanted it over but did not have the guts to end it. The story is that I had lied to him about something and he needed his time away from me to think things through. I gave him his time. When he called me back, he said that he still wanted to be with me and that I was the most incredible person he had been with. I was so happy that he had forgiven me. We than went out that weekend and I noticed that things were really distant between us. I blew it off thinking that it was because of the conflict. Well, he was no longer calling as much as he used to so I asked him about the distance between us. He said that he was just stresses out from school. However, he also said that he still needed time from me again. Then a few days passed and I called him and he still was not able to make a decision about the relationship. Finally, he said that he wanted to take things slow; maybe talk on the phone during the week and if we were comfortable go out. This conversation took place on a Sunday and he said he would call during the week. Well, Thansgiving came and went with no word from him. Finally, I called him Saturday and bbroke things off with him. I said that there were a lot of contradictions between his words and his actions. I said that I felt that he was not being honest and that he did not know what to do. So, essentially I was making the decision. Now, I feel regret. I did not want the relationship over. I want to try to work things out still- but now I would look like a fruitcake. I basically broke up with him cause I feel Ideserve better. I wanted to let him know that I was not going to wait around for him forever. But, like I said before, I want this person in my life, in one way, shape, or form. Any advice?
