I don't call him, text etc. because I respect the fact that he needs time, but the hard part is that I can't have any expectations. I can't expect to hear his voice everyday or see him when I come home from school. I don't know how to do this and be patient. I'm going home for Thanksgiving and I'm going to talk with him about this because I hate the not knowing. What would be appropriate to ask him? Should I tell him he's had enough time to think? Is this pushy of me? Please help- I would so appreciate it!
