Just got an email from H saying he thinks he's sick. I said sorry to hear that; can I do anything for you? His response: "Nothing beyond us talking more." I said happy to; how about tomorrow evening?
Wow, all of his behavior says "Give me space." I must be totally misreading him, and it makes me wonder where else I am. I wonder if he means having Talks with a capital T as opposed to just talking, which is what he seems to be avoiding.
I hate having to guess. Note to self: State clearly what you want.
If behavior says one thing and words don't say anything, how do you know what to do???
Late reply from H: "You giving me space? that's funny. Here I thought I was giving you space.....A few things you said on Fri bugged me, and I am working on articulating my thoughts. I also had the impression that you are not ready to talk yet. Hence me laying off any further discussion....I do hope you understand that I truly mean it when I say I want to make the best of this, I want to work this with you, not against you..."
Ugh. Can't wait to hear what "bugged" him, though I bet I know.
I think he must mean I'm not ready to talk turkey. I guess it's time to bite the bullet and go through those motions, despite the fact that it's not what I want. What do you all think?
that's funny. Here I thought I was giving you space.....A few things you said on Fri bugged me, and I am working on articulating my thoughts.
