When he first stepped away, I took the time to respond in a way that I'd be proud of later. I said I understood his concern for his daughter and respected his decision to focus on her. Then I told him to take care and that if he needed to talk to a friend, I was there. I don't think he expected that response and probably did regret his initial decision. I didn't try to changes his mind and I stayed warm but not "emotional." I don't really understand driving to see me to try and put things back on track only to go radio silent again. The last message between us was from him, but it as only to respond "You too" when I wished him a good night. I don't even know what I'd do if he contacts me again....It all seems like wasted energy on his part if he's not that interested. Does this sound like someone who's actually messed up or is it that he and I just have very different expectations?
