MsMel, He knows you know. So drop it for now. It will just get emotional. He evaded your vague comment by being equally vague. I would still stay in contact but no more girlfriend comments. This will give you strength if you think thru it. You just bought some time and a meeting. I would expect him to try and bail if you push. Be cool girl. More details on the tatoo please.
M22,H45,W45 S21/18D12 Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties and at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.
