Being Honest

Hello Everyone:

Yesterday evening, just before I went to bed, I got a text from the Sometime BF. He was checking in to let me know that he hasn’t forgotten about us and he’s been incredibly busy. I replied to his text with a quick acknowledgment before I went to bed, then sent him a more full response, via email.  In it I tried to been as completely honest with him as possible. I told him everything I wanted to say to him about a couple of months ago, before his mum to fell ill. Basically I said that it definitely feels like he was slipping back into his old behaviors and I was frustrated with the state of the relationship. I tried be constructive with comments, not accusing him everything. I emphasized the we, not the he. I owned up to my part in the relationship and tried to end on a positive note. I haven’t heard back from him yet but I will. I don’t want to break up with him. I want to be patient. I have to make more of effort to be patient with him. He’s going through a rough time right now. Hopefully he’ll see that in my email and understand. I have a vision of the future for the both of us.
