Search Results: feeling alive

Something bad happened in my Capricorn man's life and I haven't spoken to him in two weeks. (we aren't officially dating, but we've been talking for over a year now). something very stressful is occuring in his life and at first I thought it was something he wasn't ready to share with me (because he said a few days to himself is something that he needs right now) so me, being the supportive girl that I am, told him I would be here for him, and that he knows where to find me. Two weeks later, and he's still MIA. I texted him on Thanksgiving with the generic "happy Thanksgiving, hope it was *blah blah blah*" he responded, and I left it at that. I said you could have a couple days to yourself. Not two fucking weeks -___- And I'm pissed because his absence is effecting me too but he didn't consider my feelings when he decided to vanish.
*If it wasn't for tumblr and snapchat I wouldn't even know he's alive*

He's the type of person that isolates himself when he's really down about something & just "hopes" that when he gets things straightened out that all his friends/loved ones will still be around when he comes back. (Capricorn men... smh)
Do I swallow my pride and text him first? (I always reach out first, I really don't want to seem like I can't live without him or I need him in my life)
Do I wait it out, with a deadline? (If he's gone too long he might as well stay gone, but should I give it a whole month?)

I don't want to act irrationally or impulsively and cuss him out like my mind has been telling me to do.

I'm torn because everyone says "just be yourself" and my real self would hit him up and interrogate him and demand answers, but obviously I can't do that so I need a better approach, or no approach at all...

I promise I don't ever lead a guy who is unavailable intentionally.

Unlike being around the men I am attracted to, I can really chill/relax around him and be my genuine self by feeling safe and secure knowing that he IS taken.

But somehow he will eventually start to get close to me, try to get to know me more + keep the conversation alive, subtle flirting, etc.
When those red flags go up, I will put up my boundaries and pull away. Not just for my sake, but to respect his girlfriend.
Except when I do so, he ends up pursuing me even more!

I get so confused on why a taken guy would do something like this.
Could it be my fault for being comfortable around him that he takes it like I'm "leading him on"?

Would you pursue a girl who was her authentic self around you and then started to pull away?
