He's likely feeling guilty for hurting you, though it is always possible he is having second thoughts about the breakup.

Why would you refrain from crying in front of him and act like everything is normal?? Pride I guess, though that seems silly to me.

You have a tough choice to make...either stick to your guns and finish getting ready to move off for graduate school without having further conversation with him OR meet with him tonight and give him a chance to say what he has to say.

Now if you decide to meet with him, be prepared to watch him try to assuage his guilt or "icky feelings" only.

Do not meet with him with the expectation that he has changed his mind about the breakup or you will be hurt all over again okay?

Personally, I would have to give him a chance to talk if it were me. Just realize that this option comes with the great risk of more heartache and pain. Sometimes when the risk is great though, the rewards can be even greater

Best of luck to you whatever you decide to do.

excellent choice. soon enough you will get to the point where you dont need him anymore, and you will be stronger because of it. you just took the first step, and i realize it can be a scary one, but it is a step for the better

Thanks, I decided to move on. After crying about it all night, I don't want to have the same argument again with him knowing that nothing will change. I miss him so much already and it kills me to have to ignore him, but I don't want to drag out the heartache... I'm scared I may really convince myself to stay for the relationship.
