Thank you. I really appreciate this. I think it's hard because I have doubts. I keep thinking 'maybe'. And I don't know what he thinks. He still cares about me, I believe that. But he also believes he only hurts people, and will only hurt me. He's committed himself to staying single, working, taking care of his mother and trying to move on from the past.

I understand that.

But it kills me that this is his choice. After all I loved him. I didn't want to end things anymore. I was committed to working things out when he quit. I don't know how to handle it.
