Did I misunderstand him?

Have had relationship issues with the BF for a few weeks now. We finally met up last week to talk things through. The one thing he said he would do if it came to it was that he would break up with me face to face. So last week we met up and I asked him "are we over" and he answered "I don't know". I suggested that maybe he would consider couples counseling and he replied he hadn't thought about it but would think about it. Just before he left he said "At the moment we aren't in a relationship" and we agreed to take some time to think about things.

I've been hanging on with hope that he would consider counseling and also that he hadn't replied definitely to my question. Then this week he messages and says "I'm sorry it didn't work out between us". I m more than a little cross and annoyed as to me it seemed that things were still open by what he had said. Did I see it wrong? I can't believe that even in the heat of things (and it wasn't an angry meeting ) I misread the whole thing. Was I wanting too much to hear him say "its over" when I asked as opposed to "I don't know".

After a year couples counselling is really too much work. The relationship is not right for one or both of you so yes give up!! There are lots of men out there better suited to you, no need to 'force' this one. Chin up & move on.
