At a Crossroads - advise appreciated!
Ok, well our financing closed on Friday, finally after 1 1/2 years. N was texting me during close to find out if I was drinking yet and called me after to talk about it. We connected beautifully again, laughing, etc... I told him I was taking my daughter to the beach to ride horses and he said he was there the day before. Given that he didn't text/call me all day, I'm sure he was with some girl all day at the beach.
He didn't ask that we do anything to celebrate...kept it a fun conversation, but left it at that.
I get back to my computer later that day and have two emails from him: 1) a bill for his closing bonus and reminding me that our contract calls for him to meet 1/month through September at my company and asking me to make a decision NOW whether or not I intend to extend that contract and 2) asking for a meeting to discuss how our two businesses can work together, specifically he wants his company to sell stuff to my company.
What strikes me as curious....if I knew someone was in love with me for her entire life and if I had no intention of ever taking that to the next level, I would break contact and certainly wouldn't keep looking for ways to keep our relationship going becuase it is only false hope. There is a guy that I know wanted to date me in college and he told me about 10 years ago how he felt about me... and even though we have had opportunities to work and be social - I just don't do that..because I don't want to lead him on.
So why does N keep doing this to me? I guess the answer is that I am good supply and he really doesn't care about messing up my emotions... maybe because he doesn't really feel any, he can't understand what it does to me.
Lots of things are going through my mind:
1. Do I have this meeting and try to get straight answers from him....ie. why does he keep pursuing me? How does he think this will be any different? We will continue to go through difficult cycles of me getting hurt... Ask him if he realizes what this contact does to me? Or force him to make an all or nothing decision... (of course he would choose nothing - and on a logical level I know I shouldn't want a relationship with him) Ask him if he is just trying to keep me on the back burner "just in case". I yearn for answers so badly...it just feels like I'll never have closure without answers, because I am a logical person. I'd like to call him on all of the things he had said to me over the years and force him to choose either 1) I really felt all of those things or 2) I was really just toying with you because I am a player.
2. I really want to pay him off for the rest of his commitment through September and just tell him that I don't want a contract to force him to contact me and keep the relationship going. Or for him to use that as an excuse for why he contacts me so much.
I guess I'm mostly thinking out loud. I need to get this all down and pray about it.... but I'm still at this "no closure" stage, and due to my logical nature...my brain forces me to have logical answers to close things out!
