Dear Anita,
Thank you for your response. I really appreciated it. You are right, there was never really any conversation, even the last time when I went to his place, he just listened but he was not really open for conversation. He never was. And I must admit, I too, am not very good with communication. But I have asked him before if we could work on this, together. But it really didn’t ever happen. He does not have issues with his parents though, both his parents passed away a few years ago. From what I know, he had a really good relationship with them. The family I was referring too was his brother and sister and their family’s. They are really close. I know I should have been more assertive. I feel if we communicated more and and if I was more assertive things would have worked out totally different. I have told him all of this. But I guess I just need to move on because if he really wanted this, he would have tried harder.
