Guys definitely need to realize how much things like that hurt.
Right now I'm really upset with my bf -- of over a year -- because he's decided that things are "too serious" and wants to know why we can't just be more "laid back". Meanwhile, of course he is the one who tried to make it more serious in the first place. Last night I was crying on the phone to him because he had ignored my birthday and was generally being an *ss lately...and he HUNG UP on me. When I asked him if he could at least still say that he loved me before we went to sleep so that we didn't end the day angry, he HUNG UP. He still hasn't called today. Hmm...maybe I will start my own thread on this -- don't mean to bogart yours!
Back on topic, people need to realize that there are certain things that you shouldn't say even when you are fighting. If you think that he really is saying that he could easily let you go then maybe you need to take charge of the situation. Think about whether this is the type of relationship that you want. That way, if you do go, it will be your decision. And if you decide to test him, you will be prepared to move on. I'm trying to learn to do this myself.
