Happy Update!!

Thank you Sky, I agree with everything you wrote and appreciate your input. I am very happy to say as I was walking outside today, my phone rang and I did not have my glasses and could not see who it was. It was T!!! He called me. We spoke for about 30 minutes and it was a very open, and I mean open conversation. I cannot express my gratitude and relief to have this clarified between us. He basically misread me and walked me through why he did what he did. Now, I "love" him even more!! It is really the acceptance I receive from him that I interpret as love. I also got the courage to ask him why he will never say "I care about you". I asked if he does not verbalize that on purpose and he said yes. He gave me a very detailed reason why he will not tell me that. It made complete sense. His actions speak louder than those words. I know deep in my heart, he cares. He sure proved it today and I am floating with happiness and relief. He knows how invested I am in this and I know he is equally, if not more invested. I have driven this man crazy and he won't give up....so....either will I. This forum is a real help. I am grateful to be able to vent here and receive support. Thank you!
