I just need to know if he needs his space to get his priorities straightened out or if he is maybe done with me?

I would say just give him space for thirty days with no contact unless it is required then be pleasant yet keep it short if you have to talk within the thirty days. It will give them time to think about the situation and miss the good that was in their life. If they come back it is true love if not it wasn't meant to be...

A man that does/doesnt want to be with you will get upset either way if he hurts you. You are grasping at straws to get answers that only he can answer...I understand why you are doing it, but you need to understand that this position he has put you in is 100% unfair. He should be more worried about what you are thinking and if he will lose you because of this. However, if a man knows that you are going to be right there, waiting, he can take as long as he likes to avoid you, because when he gets lonely or needs somebody, you will be right there waiting...Is that how you describe a good relationship/love? Not me!

OMG this was like reading a question that I would post. I went through almost the exact same scenerio. My ex would leave and distance himself whenever he had financial problems or emotional problems that he had trouble discussing. I am going to try to give you the advice I wish I wouldve gotten, because we are over now and I wish I would have done things so differently. He too would also come back after a couple of weeks, I would not contact him in any way, shape or form, just wait for him to come back and he always did, except for this last time, no return.

First of all, its not fair that a woman never knows if a man is done with her, needs space, or whatever the reason is, you should KNOW. His comunication with you should be sooo much better than what it is. I remember the way I used to feel, I would cry my eyes out and wonder what I did wrong or where he went, if he met someone else...I dint know what to think. But then I would get a call or he would drive by my house 100 times. Him being a 48yr old and me being 40, this was too high schoolish for me.

Please, please take my word on this one...You need to not be so available because him taking off will become more and more frequent...If he did it twice, it will become much easier a 3rd and 4th time. I would be very scared to move out of state and have the fears of him leaving again. Mine talked of getting married and buying a house with me, and all I needed to ask was are you gonna stick around or am I gonna get stuck with a house by myself?/

This man needs to know that this is NOT acceptible behavior and you need to put the fear of God into him that he can and will lose you if his behavior continues. Definately give him his space, but in the same aspect tell him that next time he does this, not to look back because you will NOT live your life like this. Like my mom always says, if someone loves you, you wouldn't be going through this. She was right, and I'm not going through it anymore...I got my answer after I was heartbroken! Best, best of luck to you!
