Meaning of 'Not Really'?

When the person you are in a romantic relationship with is asked, "Do you want to end things with me, Hun?" His answer, "Not really." Is that a 'No' he doesn't want to end things with me? Need confirmation. Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. =/

AnonymousNot really.
~ No, not exactly. It's an ambivalent "no". He's not enthusiastic about the prospect of ending the relationship, but doesn't rule it out completely as a course of action. Maybe he's saying "No, but some changes in the relationship would be helpful". You'll have to ask him, not the English forum!
