He said I was nagging and yes it stung at first but I resisted the STRONG urge to say something nasty like "if you would just pay attention to me I wouldn't need to nag!" lol.
So it was actually really good that he felt comfortable to say that. He said "It is nagging and it is not helping me"
Which I think is a sign of maturity. He can say what he is feeling and that it is not helping him. So I said Sorry and shut my "mouth"
It felt good. But now I am backing away. Dimness.
I will probably need to talk to him tomorrow because he needs to sign a release from our MC so that our C can talk to my new IC and give her the scoop about us.
We shall see. I just know I feel a million times better now that we are talking again.
FYI when I texted him last night for the first time he texted a reply less than two seconds later.
