Your comment 'and of course he didn't respond' tells me you didn't mean it as you had an expectation of receiving a reply - you did not mean I literally want no further comment yet that is what you stated in your txt ...I could Sympathize with you as many will and that will nuture your ego a little and make you feel better, I can because I damn well have been there - and sometimes being called out on my own behavior was the wake up call I needed.... until you stop the game - stand there and breathe - let go of your ego and Calmly continue on for yourself and allow him to come in his own time you will damage the relationship further - you cannot control him or his reaction and your fear of loosing him is creating that need to control. IF you truly have had it and want to turn away then do it - without drama or ceremony, pick yourself up and go....
