Don't guys appreciate somebody being up front with them after knowing them so well?

May God grant you peace and perseverance, no matter what your ex does, or doesn't do. May God grant him the courage to step up and be a servant of God, in obedience to God, in whatever shape that takes, and may God grant your child the freedom to remain focused on Him, throughout his life, but especially in this process.

MERCIFUL JESUS I wish all girls were like you! yes every guy is straight forward we do not like to play "guess what I'm thinking" with girls it is retarded I've known a few girls who are like that, that are with total players and wonder why they are treated like shit! hell they deserve that if they haven't grown up to realize that's all childs play, anyways you're doing something good if he cannot accept that then he is a total idiot to pass someone up like you

Yes! Guys don't like being confused. Straight forward is wonderful.

I do!
Yes, communication is very important!

Well yeah we do. Guy probably was kind of knocked off balance by the statement. Think he wasn't expecting it or maybe he has moved on.

Healthy people appreciate openness. Unhealthy people don't, because openness causes them to have to deal with their issues. If you are willing to be up front with him, he may appreciate it, or he may find it offensive and feel like he needs to defend himself. The more familiar you are with a person, the better your chances of predicting the results, but you never know for sure.
God gave us a lot of information. He tells us up front we can trust Him and He loves us. However, even though Jesus demonstrated the love of God in spirit and truth, we tend to listen and learn from people who don't even really bother getting to know Jesus, they just learn about Him. Due to these misrepresentations of Christ, many people are afraid to open up to a "Christian," or have one open up to them, because so many people claim to be one, without letting Christ affect their lives, which means they really are just religious Christians, rather than followers of Christ.
It is the same for anyone. If your father abused you, you will have problems with males, authority figures and especially those who are male authority figures.
If your ex is healthy, he will appreciate your openness. If he doesn't, it is time to start listening to his story to find out where he took on the coping mechanisms that cause him to see it negatively.

So how did he react? That’s the little piece of information that you’re missing because people can’t help you unless you set a more improved base to answer on. But of course he’d like to know, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to like what you say. If he wants you back he wants you back there’s nothing more to it. Or on the other angle he doesn’t want you back and he feels bad that’s another side. But if it’s in the middle that’s very confusing. If he was about to move on and now you’re catching him off guard he doesn’t know where to stand. This relationship needs to be more stable and consistent if you’re going to push this further. Since you’re in your twenties dating is now leading to marriage. If this guy is the man of your dreams and you would do anything for him, chase him. But only if you know that you will take care of him for better and for worse. If you think another girl has the ability do this better stay on friendship terms with him. Also, if you have any doubts then you two might not be destined for each other. But if you absolutely are 100% sure that you are all for him then chase him and wait for him to fall in love with you.

Hope this helped <3
Best of wishes.

I know where your coming from. I guess its just easier for them to play games. That way they don't actually have to say something they may regret. Not to mention the one in a relationship that cares the most is the one in the least bit of control. They like being in control. Games is how they are in control.
