Don't be shocked that he comes back to you saying that he's sorry about how things went down between you two.

The question is, how are you going to deal with it?

Another question: At 23 years old, for a man to say adamantly, he NEVER EVER wants kids with NO compromise, what will he do if he gets a woman pregnant?

If he NEVER EVER wants kids, then he needs to get a vasectomy... That will be the ONLY way he can ensure that he will NEVER EVER reproduce and have his haploid spermatogenetic DNA homologously recombine naturally with any woman's ovarian DNA for fertilization and placental implantation...

Otherwise, I find it rather odd for him to say anything like that to a woman he is dating. And for him to break up with you because you have those kinds of thoughts is petty and you are better off without him.

I think the best thing he said to you is he rather not waste his time knowing what you know about him now and continue on dating even though you know you cannot change his mind about "his life's decision"...

But another truism in this, that dating you and the way you describe your relationship has changed his life in someway, which inherently affects some aspect of his life's decisions--leading one to think that in some way the anger he spewed was your relationship was at some level thought provoking enough for him to quasi-reconsider some positions...

So, don't be surprised when he calls you to see how you are doing and try to get back with you...

Another question is: what have you learned about yourself that you can take from this past relationship and move on to the next one? Or will you move on?
