Dear Connie:

Have you ever noticed how much easier it is to make a decision when you have enough information about the situation?  Simply put, you need more information.  The best way to do this is not by interpreting his words or actions positively or negatively but by communicating directly with him.  Communicating from a clear and authentic place, sharing your goals and desires and asking him what his goals and desires are should provide you with the information necessary for you to make your decision. Just remember to really hear what he is actually sharing with you instead of what you are hoping to hear.  Your decision will then be that much easier to make.
