I only know what you posted which was: "I just decided to write a mass distribution email about my foot surgery that I had about 2 weeks ago, just see if he would respond." I see nothing about asking for prayers. I trust you bcc'd him instead of releasing his email address to other people. I would be (and often was) turned completely off by suddenly being included in "mass mailing announcements" to a list of friends with MY email address visible. Suddenly I was getting reponses to the original person's email from all of the friends/acquaintances who simply responded to everyone.
My quote support quote? Post on a public board and you get answers you may not want. You asked why he didn't contact you. I told you why I think he may not have contacted you. Sorry you didn't find my answer supportive. What did you expect to hear? That he missed out on the greatest thing in life since sliced bread?
He would in most cases be making a mistake for both himself AND YOU by getting into a serious relationship when his divorce is so fresh. He left things "this way" because he didn't want additional contact and didn't have the courage (or class) to tell you. On the other hand if you were not "exclusive" I don't know that he owed you any explanation.
Did he introduce you to his children, something that would indicate he was serious about the relationship.
If you wanted emotional support, that should have been your question. I thought you wanted an opinion on why someone you met on line hasn't responded back to you.
