Of course, he claims there is no correlation between that and this new development, that he has been thinking along these lines for a while now. I'm sure he has, he has mentioned "a new chapter" in our relationship several times, but then he doesn't bring it up again. But I'm sorry, I can't help but see that this rupture all started so shortly after I opened up about my feelings.

Hugs, NP. I'd be having the same reaction to the rupture, including the timing. I hope he can continue to be a strong source of emotional support for you. And to help you find other sources if he can't provide it, but not pull it before you're ready.
