Where To Go From Here?

I'm not sure where to go from here... I feel a little lost in this relationship or whatever it is. I talked to Brandon yesterday (after I called him) and he seemed a little off. I told him I thought something was wrong and I asked him what. He said he had a lot of things on his mind. I asked if he wanted to talk about it and he proceeded to tell me something (I don't feel right sharing all his personal business with the world...sorry). I asked more questions about what he told me but he had short responses. We talked for a little bit longer then he suddenly had to go. He said he would call me back and I said that way fine. I'm still waiting on him to call. I broke and texted him, just now, asking how he was doing. I wish I wouldn't have sent the text.

After I hung up with Brandon last night, I called one of my mentors because she has experience with the thing Brandon told me about. She and I had a long conversation about the thing and relationship with Brandon. I'm at a crossroads trying to figure out exactly what I want and how I feel. Yes, I like him. Yes, I could see a future. BUT is all his baggage adding up to be one huge deal breaker? Isn't it supposed to be easy right now because this isn't easy. This week has sucked and I've been left in the dark. I can see the relationship crumbling in front of me and I'm just standing there wondering if it's worth saving. My mentor said to give it time and him some space (reason one why I shouldn't have texted him). He will come back if it is meant to be. She also said I need to be prepared that he might not come back and that is on him, not me. Again I go back to the fact that this should be easy.

So I'm left sitting here and wondering what the next few days of my life will hold. I need to give him space and I need to hold to it. I won't contact him (first) until Monday. There is going to be a lot of deep breathing in my future. :/
