That totally and completely sucks. I don't have any insight on stupid shit like that because I'm not 20-something anymore and as you well know, unfortunately my word is good. I'd be a thousand miles away and drinking on a beach if it weren't.
I'm sure he's built you up quite a bit, given the history you gave at the beginning. I'd also bet that the meeting the family thing finally made things seem "real" once he thought about it some more, and that's not something he was prepared to handle.
I also think confessing feelings for a girl when she's involved in a relationship (and you know she is, of course), is the sort of thing you do if you're interested in the illusion of intimacy, but don't really want it. If she fucks you, she's untrustworthy. Likewise if she leaves the other person for you. And if she turns you down, you get to play the scorned romantic while putting at least one and maybe more people into an uncomfortable position (passive aggressive!).
ugh that last part is so dead on emp. He's got a touch of passive aggressiveness. Its hard for someone like me who is SO up front about everything, but regardless, it's been a long time. And too fucking long for someone to turn their back on me like this.
Its cowardly and hurtful.
Oh god does this hurt.
What a motherfucker.
