Thank you very much for the advice everyone. I appreciate it very very much.

I've decided. Now's not the time for a relationship anyway, since we're having exams. I won't talk to him anymore regarding this matter. and healing4me, you're right...maybe it's time I've moved on and stopped beating myself up over it and find someone who doesn't "back-pocket" me. I know I haven't done the best thing, but it's been a year plus. Enough's enough, I've had enough of pain to last me a lifetime.

thank you again.
