Hi everyone,
Hope you're having a nice day. A little background: my ex and I have been on and off for six years now and earlier this year he got back in touch after no contact. We tried over a period of a few months to rekindle things but he had treated me so badly and with such commitment fears in the years previously, that I found I couldn't get over my anxieties to forgive and move on.
I've always been there for him though, through his personal family issues etc and earlier this week he knew I was having a procedure done and would have been getting some big health results after it and how nervous I was. I spent a number of days thinking I would hear from him, refreshing my phone for messages (pathetic, I know!) so when he eventually got in touch I shared my disappointment saying 'I was surprised and thought it showed he had forgotten or didn't care'.
He seems shocked at my reaction, I was kind in my words and explained I was just sharing my feelings but he said he assumed I didn't want to hear from him (I never said this and as I said, I've always been there for him even when not in a relationship). Am I missing something or is he wrong here? I simply shared how I was feeling but now feel stupid!
