Whoa. That adds another dimension to this situation.

Im guessing that he is a bit controlling by nature and due to his job. OP, you may be missing him now but you may want to maintain your distant position but if he ever contacts you again think of a way to respond without being too engaging or simply don't respond.

 

Other thoughts...

Ahhh yeah.... his nature in addition to his job.

6. He often makes jokes about domestic violence...?

 

This is going to end badly.

Lol...it's already ended. Its fading out peacefully. He'd never do anything crazy like some people assume. He'd rather leave the relationship than "try" to control me. It'd never happen.

 

Its just the incidents that I mentioned being a bit shocking in nature. Other than that he's pretty sensible. Plus I haven't done anything that would strike a nerve. If so, I can handle myself. Im a purple belt and did some special training that he knows nothing about.

 

Perhaps he'd try to control me emotionally if we stayed together.

And he has been contacting me btw... not drama. He's just distant. Having fewer words.

Well you knew he would eventually.

 

Have you responded at all?

Yes I have

Yes I have

 

Then you are INVITING him into communicating with you.

...and?

 

Its not like I've invited him over.

True, but I suggest proceeding with caution.

 

Sometimes moping, few words, distance is a sign of anger and/or a plan for revenge.

True. Though im not really trying to rekindle what we had. I can see that he does have lots of anger aside from this situation.

 

I can't coddle him everyday or try to convince him everyday that I'm not "the enemy"... if he wants to be angry he can. I know that's not love or care. Nothing else can convince me otherwise.

 

I wonder how many people regret losing a relationship do to control or anger issues or how many of those situations were worked through ...
