Morning here Jess
Glad you've forgiven him as the mind is very complex and possibly could have been an honest mistake.

Guys are weird animals sometimes and generally great at concentrating on one thing at a time, certainly my case.

Saw a physiologist video for get were he described the big difference between how women and men think. Boxes and a bundle of wires respectfully.

Shortly guys brains are like being in a small room with shelves all around and boxes full of one subject. Basically he takes one box down and examines the contents, works with it, then puts it back.

Woman brains are like a bundle of wires with electricity buzzing around between all the wires at the same time.

The poor guy may just have had to many thoughts going on at the same time, one of which I'm sure would be how much he cares for you.
