My ex and I had a misunderstanding 1 1/2 years ago. He had a problem with communication; would feel I was pursuing him to try and push him when I was just trying to talk so we could make well-informed decisions. I was good at this, and we were very happy. One day, though, I lost my job and I was not on top of things. He thought I broke up with him. It was too complicated to deal with at the time, and I let it go. He got together w/ a rebound person and I was hurt, and then, I think he thought I was just trying to either make him be with me against his will or keep him as some play –boy, but I really don’t know, because he was never even willing to admit he had lost trust in me, and I was too stressed about my job situation to be able to do serious relationship repair. For a long time, I thought he really hadn’t been in love with me in the first place, but as time passed and we had some exchanges, I gradually figured out that he feels very overwhelmed by his feelings for me and is for that reason somewhat afraid of me. Now, I am coming back to the other side of the country for my best friend’s wedding, and he is, for whatever reason, going. He’s not even that good of a friend with my best friend, I’m pretty sure it is me he wants to see. But, he has been with a new girlfriend for 4 months. In the past two weeks, we started talking and explaining some of his actions in a different light for the first time. Last Thursday, I got a text from him saying, “Do you want to tell me why I should trust you again?” I texted him back once, but I haven’t heard from him. I don’t want to seem pushy, so I texted him a second time saying I wanted to talk, but I would wait for him to call. But, he has not called. The wedding is next weekend. There are many things I could explain to him that would probably make things better, but I think we really need to talk, because I don’t know exactly where to begin. Should I chill or write him an email?
