I dont want to date him or anything because I believe that honesty and communication are essential in any relationship, but it really pisses me off that he made a lot of promises and asked me to wait patiently while he dealt with some work issues. The only time I have heard from him is when I initiate texting. If I confront it would have to be by talking to him. I am really pissed off because I trusted him and shared some very personal information.

I am the type of person that is hard to let go if someone did me wrong and until I discuss it with that person it continues to bother me. I go from wanting to let it go and forgetting about it, to needing to let him have it and its the back and forth mentality. I know that once I let him have I will be ok.

What do you think I should do?
I'm sorry this happened to you but (IMO) your best bet is to let it go and move on with your life without contacting this guy (via phone or any other means).

IMO, there's nothing to be gained by calling him or letting him have it as you say. Even if you give him a piece of your mind, any satisfaction you gain from that will be temporary.

Just let it go.

Call him!

I really do not understand this issue with "boys need to call the girl".

You should have done that a long time ago already
Call him and discuss it so you can move on (with or without him).

He probably decided that the risk for that to happen again was too great.
Men tend to enjoy being alone, chances are, he made those promises because he thought he wanted to have a relationship and all that, but then realized that it's not what he actually wants, that a relationship wouldn't bring much for him, especially considering what happened to him before.

You can always try to give him a call, ask him plainly, he'll give you a plain answer, and you can move on from there on.
