He had passed away without letting me know how serious his condition was he had diabetes and cancer..It hurt me bad and for a long time we were spending all the time we could on the phone and online before we met on New Years..His mom had called me and told me and I just lost it..Now I have a potential and dont want to go thru the same with him..I feel close to him and will meet him soon if all goes well like it is or was..I hate worrying and not knowing..I just wish people would consider their other halfs before themselves then all would be fine,when they dont we never know what to expect..

You did say you were under consideration. That to me does not mean anything contractual. I'm not certain of details, but I feel you may be worrying a bit too much at this stage. Give it time, and take care not to mother him. If, over time, it appears he's just not taking you seriously, move on.

Secondly, yes, it would have been the best thing to make a quick call and say "Hey, can't talk now, but we're ok." Obviously at this point what you do is go to him and say "I felt really afraid and abandoned by not hearing from you. It would really help me feel secure if you could remember those little things until we had a long term established situation."

Thirdly, assess whether you are really ready to be in a relationship again. Your comment of "like everything else he upset me" speaks to a lot of negative and low self-esteem- someone who is preparing for failure. Or assess whether you want to keep getting into relationships with people you can't see on a regular basis. You're the one making the choices to be with these people and you should assess whether you can improve the process for yourself.

It's 12 hours! He gave you a reasonable answer as to why He couldn't keep the commitment. Three days with no word, I could see a little anxiety creeping in...but 12 hours accompanied by a reasonable explanation?

Lay on the couch, look at the Rorschach ink blots and tell me why you feel this way?

In between post #27 and #29?

At the bottom of each person's post is a number associated with it. The original post is #1 and it goes from there.

If you notice he makes a habit of not keeping his commitments to call, or be there online, then it's a problem. but everyone forgets occasionally, or rushes out the door without something, only to remember later...

Give him the benefit of the doubt, but watch for ongoing patterns of behaviour that you just don't feel comfortable with. Then deal with it, as you think best.

And remember, a calm non-blaming statement about how you felt is never out of place in a mature relationship.

Status: offline 		Given your recent situation and the fact that this relationship is new - therefore you are not comfortable with fully trusting yet, it is understandable to have some anxiety. Often time life just happens. Unless he specifically said "wait up for me and I will contact you," when you get tired, go to bed. Let him know of your anxieties due to what recently happened so he knows the big picture.
