Thanks all,

Pisces, you're right that the email is rigid and cold. It was sort of what I was going for, but maybe it isn't the right approach. I'm just trying to demonstrate that I don't need to see him, and now I'm a little bit nervous about the Amazon books that will be arriving, even though they "should" be low pressure.

So instead, I'll try to make it just a touch lighter by adding the smiley face by the "walk the dogs" comment, and adding "please" to the let me know if this timing isn't OK.

Point taken on the MIL sitch...it is incredibly tempting though!

I'm not at all worried about not hearing "ILY", actually this doesn't bother me one bit, honest. I am more worried that it bothers him that he doesn't feel this way. He has come very close to saying he doesn't feel this way on several occasions, but has always stopped short with things like "I just don't know how I feel anymore", or "even if you are willing to wait, I can't help the way that I feel", these kinds of things...

Hopefully those books from Amazon will not be a big deal though, as otherwise I have done a pretty good job trying to redeem myself this week...in fact if for some reason they don't get delivered until Monday, when I stop by the house, I may even be able to preempt them!

ITH
