Partner left after 9 years - now we're friends??

[AliSuddenly]

Thanks IMP! I know you're right...but thats intellectualising it! I just cant seem to have that PMA yet..I'm just hacked off he left me, I miss him, its confusing, upsetting, annoying and I want turn back time and tell my stupid ignorant complacent self to do all this great work BEFORE he leaves !!! :-) Good point about the baby steps OneDay, do you see it that way? I agree, we are having multiple communcations now! There was a time when even one a week was a miracle, now they're raining down like a meteroite shower.

...well another text! Its a wierd one, feel a bit disappointed...funny though..

I joked in my text last night that his friend may try it on in the cinema (my BF had once said he thought this mate, who has a W and baby, may be gay). Well in his text earlier he said he had tried it on! Which is fine, except it isnt, seeing as he has a W and baby!! so I asked him if that was a joke or not? Hes just replied:

"The whole yawn, stretch, arm around the shoulders move!
Feeling a bit better than earlier - back monday probably.
Sorry you working so hard. Me"

Hmm!!??

I guess its positive in that hes letting me know he wont be seeing me this weekend "probably back Monday" - I didnt even ask him when hes back. Not taking me up on the "give me a call" offer though. I think he is implying (as usual, not stating!) that he wont speak to me, but will email me when he is back on Monday.

Should I reply ?? And round we go around the flowchart again...

Q1. Shall I reply? Yes - go to question 2...No - go to quesion 978
Q2. What should I say?

Q. 978..What should I do instead of replying?
