Okay, well he did say "You're important to me so we need to sit down and have a conversation". Clearly, as he said, you're important to him. From what you've been saying it sounds like he's had problems in relationships in the past, but from his text it sounds like he might be willing to try and work something out. I know it's hard, and I know how things like this can make you feel. My own boyfriend pulls me in some upsetting directions sometimes. Hang in there. *hugs* You can do this. I'm here, and many others are here to support you.
