Maaaan!! some people don't get the hint if it right came out and bit 'em!
I'm a guy (And apparently the only one in this loop who posted) and I highly recommended the one who started this post to dump him, 'cause he's just taken you for a ride. He's probably so fickle, he doesn't know what he wants, just hangs on to what might be usefull for him in the future.
HIS SUBCONCIOUS MIND SPOKE OUT TO HIM, and he just happened to do "his best" to break the news to you. Now, as others in this post indicated, get out, or get burned. Men, like women, will put a loved one before themselves, and make time for them, because of that. If the guys not giving any effort to the situation, get out. And, yes, "Trust no Man" can be exchanged to "Trust no Woman", if your heart is cold enough! (In my case, it's just "Don't trust that %&#* of an ex-wife)
I apologize if this may seem hostile (If so, I'm breaking my first commandment-thou shant not get upset on the forum), but you, "anonymous" did ask for an opinion, and 99% said not to continue the relationship if you value your feelings, yet you are rejecting their reply. Turn the situation around, dump him and give notice it was because of what he told you in regards to his "dream".
Another note; the comment from kybert was suggested to me that she didn't know how to reply at first, but with your irrate reply, it was a lash-back, yet I still didn't see it as anything more than self-defense, and letting go of her opinion, which she was so considerate to hold back in the first place.
Soooooooo, if you lash back at me, I'm bullet proof!! I'm wearing my hostile-proof vest!! I'm wearing my life preserver!!
Sticks and stones will break my bones, but this forum is here for suport.
