I think it is interesting that he is telling you about the conversation with his co-worker. He needed a way to broach the subject. He is telling you for a reason. Sometimes when a man says what he wants, we women decide to analyze it and decide what he "really meant." I would be very clear what I want and expect. Listen to what he tells you. I don't think we should view time spent in a relationship that didnt end in a marriage as "wasted time." Every relationship teaches you something and the fact that marriage might not be the end result does not diminish it's importance.
