Thanks, Trisha - see the most recent post in my LJ to see how I'm reacting to my new independence. ;)
That's it exactly, I think - he's realised that he will be alone next year, and it's scaring the crap out of him. And part of me is sympathetic, really it is, because when it's all said and done, I still do care about him, deep down, despite my venting here. But mostly I don't really care that much. Because this is the way he wanted it, and this is how it's going to be from now on. That knowledge is hitting home, and he's regretting it, I think. But nothing, nothing he could do or say would make me want to get back with him. The hurt's been too much.
Besides, I'm starting to enjoy this independent gal thing. :)
