I shouldn’t have talked to him

Leaving off from my last post.

We talked on the phone and it was great because we caught up and had wonderful conversation, but there was something that he wasn’t saying. He would start sentences, pause, and then continue on. Like he was avoiding his own thoughts.

However, he did mention that he had gotten an offer back in the city where we worked together and where we met. The same city that I loved and he didn’t mind – but he didn’t want to live there forever. This was unsurprising to me; however, he mentioned that he was thinking about accepting the offer and moving into an apartment downtown.

Now this absolutely shocked me. When we were together, we would daydream about moving into an apartment downtown in a huge city, any huge city. We planned to live there for a few years in our early twenties and then eventually make our way to the outskirts of town where we would build our family.

Was he telling me that he was coming back for me? Had he gotten back to his side of the country and missed me? Why would he return to a place he didn’t want to end up at? That’s not the smartest career move. But maybe it is? Am I thinking into this too much?

A few days after talking to him, he reached out again. He let me know that he was going to accept the offer and he hoped that I was going to be around when he got here.
