Ari,
You did what you had to do. It was your way of finding out for sure, for your own peace of mind.
We are not here to approve or disapprove your decisions. We are here to listen and make you feel comfortable when you make them, whatever they may be. You needed to see Dave again in order to get him out of your system. This time it worked. His response was, you wouldn't be hearing from him again. I think he has it all wrong...he won't be hearing from you again.
No disappointment from me.

Hang tough,
chickadee
