I'm trying to get to the bottom of this. The facts I'm giving are what they are. He tells me he sought advice bc he was torn and didn't want to hurt her. She was a good person. Then he talks some more and tells me his friend said that he wasn't thinking of the future. She was pretty much all he wanted in a person except the age difference. So he keeps adding things that have my head spinning. Since it's spinning, I am having trouble figuring it all out. It's a puzzle. I needed others opinions outside of my situation. Maybe there is something I'm not able to see. I'm writing down all I know and have heard from him in order to make sure I have given the entire story. I am not a novelist or very good writer at times. I just wanted to know that he didn't choose me bc I was practical.
