Well it's a very unbalanced situation. You have huge emotional investment in this, while he may have very little or none at all. You have made yourself very vulnerable because of the way this is, and all for the sake of trying to reach out to him and empower him by letting him make a choice. All of this was done out of love, and with courage. Even if he doesn't respond and you have to process the hurt, ultimately it would be his massive loss.
