I don't understand it either Stars, since he told you about the abuse as a child. If he hadn't told you about it, I could understand, but this -- I don't get it.
I would think that he would want you around for support!! This doesn't quite make sense, and I would want some explanations. So far it sounds like he hasn't given you any and you DESERVE something before you two meet, and he isn't "ready for it."

I know he might be in an unstable condition right now, but he still should give you SOME idea why he broke it off with you. Like I said, you deserve some idea. It's not fair to keep you in the dark about this especially after having been together for 2.5 years! He should trust you more than this!

I'm sorry Stars. I wish I had some advice for you. I'd be upset too. I know he's hurting but so are you. To keep you waiting for an explanation isn't fair. Tell him to e-mail it for heavens sakes, but you deserve SOMETHING. God bless my friend, and please take care of YOU. Hugs, Lee
