By the end of the day, I discovered he had disconnected his number/ changed it.  I'm guessing it was an impulsive reaction to the anxiety.  But still, I feel very rejected, and my hope has pretty much left.  He never said anything mean.  Just that he couldn't talk and he didn't know how to explain what's happened between us.  Such an intense love with an abrupt end and no clear explanation is really hard.  but I guess I must let go.   cheesecakegirl, don't run away and hide.  Make a plan with your partner for when your "bad" side comes out.  Make a plan for how he can cope with it. If you run away, and there's no communication, he will assume you don't love him anymore (as I have in my situation), and eventually give up.  You don't want that.
