I understand what you're trying to say, but I think that would be applied better in a case of break up, which is not the case here. At least not yet.

The fact that he only said he's "lost faith in this" and nothing else (like "and we should stop seeing each other" or something along those lines) is what's giving me the strength to be patient in giving him space. I've heard that from him hundreds of times before. He usually says it when he's down, having a bad day, or when he's still angry after some fight (he's a bit of a drama queen sometimes, like me). Besides, he wouldn't make that decision and put it to practice through e-mail. He'd do it personally.

I had to face that question in my head - do I still want him? - when he talked to me and asked me if we could give it another try and start all over. But I still did, and do. It's not that I can't live without him, it just sucks to do so.
