Hi Guys, thanks for your input. Lola, there is definitely an element of attraction between the old friend. I'm not sure it would stay platonic in my slightly vulnerable state so I think I do need to leave the old friend alone. At least while I am still dedicated to my marriage. It would be quite easy to justify it to myself and I really appreciate you all being frank with me.
I finally got a text back from my h in response to the one I sent saying I had now thought about the house would he like to discuss it. It said
"Hi, sorry for taking so long, I dropped my phone in the bath and it's only just started working again. We could meet tomorrow if you're free?"
This kinda vexed me first of all but on rereading it is quite amusing. This is quite typical of things he/ I used to do and we used to laugh about it. I can't make tomorrow as I am going out for birthday celebrations with my sister as it is her birthday and I am also busy the rest of the week but I thought about suggesting meeting for breakfast one morning. He always used to love doing that. It would also mean limiting time so he wouldn't feel trapped and I would have an excuse to leave. How do you guys think I should respond?
