Good for you. I think you handled things honestly, maturely and most important.....right (if it's possible to say that). Men are funny creatures. While they constantly get reaffirmed by society about their strength and "masculinity", I contend that many of them have no sense of self accountability, courage and ability to display these like characteristics even remotely well. What's so hard? Fundamentally, I think men are all very passive-aggressive and require strong women who will CALL THEM OUT on their squirly ways. What happened to the phrase, "be a man" translating into action? The Reader, may have been going thru his own stuff emotionally and stuff, but IMO, that doesn't preclude him or any other man, from saying honestly what's on his mind and where is at. You rock, girl.....you are a catch and you deserve to be with someone who will totally recognize and never stop treating you like you are! Wow. Good for you.

You are extremely eloquent and I'm certain that your texts/e-mails to this person were as open and honest as this post. Life is way too short to spend trying to figure things out with someone that doesn't treat you in the manner than you deserve to be treated. Bravo, Friday!
