Thanks for the great advice. There is a little more to the story, though. I would love to get back with my ex. But it was a whole year ago when it ended. He broke up with me about 6 weeks into the relationship because I smoke. Something he knew from the start. Didn't fall for him yet, so I was like, ok, whatever. He called a few days later, apologized, told me he misses me, blah blah blah. We got back together. About one month later, he started being different, kind of depressed and indiferent, and talking about joining the navy. This attitude started right after I went with him to dinner with his two families (divorced parents - two dif occasions, one weekend). I didn't feel like I really hit it off with either family. They are wealthy, I am not. The next week I asked him what was wrong, was it me or something else. Told me he didn't know, maybe it was that he didn't get accepted to med school, or maybe it was me, and he wanted time to think about it. I gave him time. I didn't call him for a week. Then he called me to go pick out wall paint with him. On the ride back to his apt. after choosing the new paint color for him he was being really mean. He even admitted he only kept me around for my good style taste (giving him style advice on paint, drapes, clothes....)! Ouch! He didn't even invite me back up to his apt when we got there. I gave him a hug, I was crying, I told him how much I like him, and that he needs to make a decision on where we were going with stuff. Never heard from him again... Maybe I should have called him, but I felt that I left it up to him to call me, so I never did. I've seen his dad and step mom since, and they were totally cool and friendly! What the hell happened?!

If he did he never would have acted the way he did. My ex Robert was the same way. I was just another one of his "girls", which were many. I now unfortunately have trust issues. My best advice: MOVE ON. He's totally not worth it, expecially after what he said to you. That went beyond extremes. It's possible he's scared of a relationship. I have two good friends, rich guy, poor girl, definitely in love and they're engaged. So I wouldn't worry about the money problem, but like I said, he was terribly rude to you. Best thing to do is forget about him and find you someone better. Good luck. [ adviceforlife's advice column | Ask adviceforlife A Question ]
