Vanessa,
I don’t get a psychic sense of this breakup being final. When he thinks about it after a while he will probably show back up. It doesn’t feel like his mind it made up 100%. It’s more that he is confused.
Just be careful about how you handle this as you could sabotage the situation easily. Also, if he does come back, make sure you are just taking the handouts he is giving you. Demand that he respects you more. If he won’t, be willing to walk away forever.
Strangely, I keep seeing psychic pictures in my mind of him working on a car. Is this something he does for work or is this something he is just obsessed with?
