Planned Ignoring

OK, I cried myself to sleep last night.

I have decided, but couldn't tell him, yet, that I need a little break.

I can't talk to him every day and see him, yet not be appreciated.
So, I decided yesterday that I'm not taking his calls. (I know it is childish.)
He called me at 8:00 and I didn't take it. Then, he sent me a text at 8:45 and I didn't respond.

So, today, at 4:30, he calls me again and leaves another message. It sounded a little bit like he getting that I'm not calling him back.

I'm hoping that he doesn't call again tonight, because I'm afraid that I might answer.
I need to decide if I can wait for him and continue to feel nonappreciated.
I'm not sure that I can.
