I was in a very full on but lovely relationship for just over 3 months with this guy. He is 34 so ten years my senior. It started perfect. He was charming, sweet and very caring towards me. He then went away for a week due to a family problem. Initially he was very responsive. He would call and send pictures all the time, giving me no reason to suspect or feel insecure.

However after about 4 days of him initially being there, he stopped calling/messaging as much though he was still in contact, he didn't seem himself. I then asked him if everything was OK with him and his family and he wasn't very responsive I then asked why I was getting the silent treatment (I had called him 3 times prior to this but he didn't answer and I didn't get a call back), perhaps he felt I had not been there for him so I asked him if this was the case. I apologized, though I was unsure as to what I was apologizing for. He said he was sorry and that he had experienced problems and he would call me later that day.

I got nothing and so the next day I sent him a message to say I was hurt by the way he had acted and that I didn't need an explanation anymore and that I was done with it. To this he responded, thanks for being patient with me. I was baffled so asked what he meant, to which he responded, thanks a lot. I have since asked him why he is thanking me but I have received no reply. It has now been four days and I am still hurt and confused as to what happened! I know I need to give myself closure but I feel I still need to tell me.

What should I do? Contact him again?

I wouldn't contact him again. Let it slide. He could be having family difficulties and doesn't want to discuss it.

Do you think he will ever contact me again? Perhaps once the issues with his family are resolved? It's so odd as he has always told me about these problems previously.

Do you think he said thank you in a sarcastic way or was he being serious? I'm so baffled by it all.

Stand by your word and move on with your life. Even if he tries to come back in your life, resist giving into those feeling.
