Confusion is key!!! Wow, and is he ever torn. morgan, I know you hate to see 'baby steps' (so do I) because we mostly get knocked down, but he is really struggling here. I think its because you set boundaries and are sticking with them. Everything you said to him was reasonable (about not being able to hug him, etc), but they were probably hard for him to hear.
And OMG: "anyway. partly for my own privacy, partly because, well, its fun to bug him." LMFAO!!! As of yesterday, I have set up my voice mail on my personal phone (never bothered because I have a work phone that has it), and all day today my friends were calling me while we were at a neighborhood party. Instead of answering it, I just hit 'ignore". H has no reason to think I am seeing anyone, and I don't want him to think that. But I wouldn't mind him squirming a bit about whether or not I spoke with OW's H yet (he hasn't asked).
