Know this cap man for a year, were a couple till June, when his mum got ill with cancer and subsequently died a couple of months later. His reaction was to cut me off stone cold, no explanation, no reason, nothing, even though i tried my hardest to spupport him. He changed his number, moved house etc so no way i could contact him. For three months i tried to get over him and get on with life...then last week he pops up out of the blue saying he was sorry and can we try again etc etc. i said i was v.hurt and not sure if i want to get back with him, but agreed to see him a couple of times to see how things went. So yesterdayhe suggested cinema tonight and he said what about around 5 or 6, i said yeh sounds good, expecting to speak to him at some point today to confirm an exact time and place to meet etc. I texted him this morning saying to please ring me when he wakes, so could sort out later etc. He rings me up at ten past 6 tonight saying hes round the corner and ready for cinema. i explain im not ready and he says why not. Thing is when we were together he used to cancel on me loads, im not going to spend time getting ready unless i know hes definately going to be there, and as had not spoken to him all day had had no confirmation. He says all this stuff about having no phone battery to ring me earlier etc, and i say sorry but i wasnt sure what was happeneing so didnt get ready. As he now expects me to rush to get ready (funny cause if i had gone on his 'between 5 and 6' suggestion as being the time to meet i could have been waiting over an hour for him already as he rings me at 6.10pm, yet hes not prepared to wait an hour now for me to get ready) or do it another day, i say another day now and explain why im in a bad mood. He gets in a stress, huffs, says bye and quickly hangs up!!! I just want him to be clear about times and make more of an effort if he wants me to give him another chance...or am i being silly expecting he confirms times etc with me? JJust dont want to be let down any more, hes let me down so much in the past. Thoughts, people??
Can't understand cap man!!
I don't understand these buggers either. But there is one thing I figured out and that's don't dwell on the past. Don't bring it up so much. In this situation it's best to say stuff like "You didn't confirm this morning. I'm a girl and it takes me a while to be a beautiful goddess on your arm so that all the guys think you have the best." Those exact words aren't exactly what I'd say but if I bring up all the stuff he's ever done then he's running out the door.
No I'm not saying that you shouldn't ever talk on the past when it's important. But it seems to be a sticky point that you cushion it so you aren't criticizing.
Anyhow that's just me. If you did bring up the past, wait a few days to let him calm down from the rejection that you just delivered to his ego.
Also it's fun getting my guy to laugh or quip back with me in a joke. He's very funny.
