I hope the truth is just that he doesn't feel like talking about who he's dating with 7gbf.
That seems likely, Laga. But, even if he hasn't been in another significant relationship, it might not necessarily a bad thing.
What makes you sad about it?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'll always love him. The idea of him being alone and miserable is too awful.

I told him I was very depressed that day, that it was the most depressed and upset I'd been in years, and he could borrow my car if he wanted but I wasn't going to drive him there. He got all mad and told me that in the future he wasn't going to be as indulgent to what I wanted anymore.
Oh my lawerd. This feels too familiar.
When K was in town in October, smack in the middle of the great Pneumonia that-nearly-took-me-out,she spent 3 days 6 blocks from me but couldn't make time to visit...until the one day I had clients. The headline of that long weekend became, Bonny Couldn't Squeeze Me In.
Okay. I'm over it. Kate is right. I have made up my mind. I would never had left someone hanging like she did, much less when they could really have used some support.
My advice request was about how to say goodbye without being a jerk about it and in diplomatic enough terms that a defensive person can hear. However, while I would like to do it well, I guess there is no way to do it perfectly.

I don't think you owe her a goodbye. And if you just let the relationship trail off maybe in a couple years you can reconnect and it will be better.

Aw, Hon...I'm sorry. It's good of you to care so much and, once again, I hope his choices aren't based in misery. In my experience, alone doesn't have to be miserable.
In any case, I hope there is another explanation that is less painful for you.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Birthday Happies Jilli!!!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Happy bat and chocolate-filled birthday to the splindiferous Jilli!
