I dont have any tips, except let the chips fall how they fall. HD wanted the break so he has to state how he feels, so focus on listening. Act with grace and remember you will be happy whatever the outcome. If he breaks it off, it will take a whole to recover. If he is vague about how to continue, you should seriously consider breaking up yourself. If he proposes, he is problably no longer on the fence. Take care

I hope it turns out the way you want. But have to say that I wouldn’t have allowed a man to dictate such terms.. he would be the one worried about me not showing up. Not the other way around.

Dear Sofia,
I will be thinking about you today! :)
You are strong and you will handle the situation great!
Already you can be so proud of yourself! And I am very proud of you too!
You handled this in a very mature way, you didn’t cling on him, you realized that if he has not the same life goals, you can still fulfill them with someone else. Not everyone would have been able to realize that.So tomorrow, no matter what will happen stay strong!
Either he^’ll say he’s not ready, and then you have to be prepared to walk away.
If he says that he is, there are several new conversations to have about how serious he is about having a family and getting married.I hope everything turns out for the better, but it really is a hard situation!
I’ll be thinking about you and I know you can do it!
Keep us updated <3Amanda
Good luck with everything! You did a great job not contacting him. Now prepare yourself emotionally for whatever the outcome. After making you wait like this, do not accept anything less than full commitment. He has had his time to think, if he can’t commit to you now, he doesn’t deserve you.

Hi Sofia,
I hope things went well yesterday and that the reason you haven’t updated is because you guys spent the night together having a wonderful time. My heart goes out to you.Amz
I hope things went well Sofia, whether he told you he wanted to progress with you, or not. I hope you’ve been able to support yourself through this.
Please let us know what happened when you know as there’s support here, no matter what.

This is like watching the season finale of my favorite show and the cable goes out! What happened? Did they run off to Vegas and get married and she hasn’t had time to update us?????
Kosm
I have to admit, unfortunately I have a feeling things didn’t go well, which makes me sad because I genuinely wanted things to go well for Sofia. I hope I’m wrong. Sofia, I hope you’re ok and staying strong, and that you’ll reach out for support if you need it.
Hayley
I’m hoping the silence means things went her way! Fingers crossed she doesn’t need the forum anymore. If not and it’s a little to raw to log on here then I hope she finds all the happiness she deserves!
Ellie
Yeah, I assuming things went in her favor, and she is not even thinking of this forum anymore!!
Cara
Any updates??
Pandora
I think its a bit selfish to not update, there are lots of people who invested time and energy to reply, lots of people gave support, and the OP came back always to respond
So, I think she should have updated, just:
Girls, it went well, thanks! I will be back to tell
or
Girls, it was horrible, I am upset, I will update later
or
Girls, it was confusing, I am still perplexed, I will update laterBecause lots of other people read the topics here on the forum and they can learn from it, so the updates are really appreciated

My feeling is it went horribly. It happens to me too – when I get bad news, I just can’t talk about it to anyone for a few days.

I will be shocked if it turned out as the OP hoped, which is why I’ve stayed quiet. I’m not a pessimist. But I listen closely and pay attention, and I’m realistic.
If after all this time the guy is only giving lip service about taking the next logical step in the relationship, and needs to take a break to figure out what he wants…that is a very bad sign.
I’ve had a bad feeling since the OP’s first post. It’s always great to hear when a story works out, but I’ll be floored if this works out in her favor. I’d never want to have to drag a guy forward in a relationship. If you aren’t sure, I’m surely out.
I would love to be be proved wrong on this. Time will tell.
Tiana
Really hope things are going well Sofia.
Amz
I agree Phillygirl. The signs were not good from the start. But she had to give it a chance anyway, or she might’ve always wondered “what if”…
Devil’s Advocate
Is it just me or do you guys feel like we’ve been dumped? After all the advice support and caring we get…NADA…
Maybe I should start a thread on what it feels like to be dumped when you’re emotionally invested in a poster and get no updates!!! :( :( :(
Marie
I understand your perspective and his. It’s not on the man to approach progressing things to moving in, it’s something you both have to be ready for and mutually want. He just isn’t ready yet and I don’t think taking a two week break is going to change that, because if he was ready he would agree.
The last time I was in a situation where someone wanted me to move in and I did not want to and no amount of time was going to change that. I was okay with seeing him, spending time, but he was not someone that I trusted having a future with and that’s okay. I hope your situation works out in the best way for you.

Lets keep bumping this up like a girl that doesn’t get the hint and keeps contacting when she’s been ghosted. :-)
Emma
I am with those who think things did not go well.
Sofia provide an update to everyone, you owe it to the forum girl. LOL
Amz
Bump!
