Hi Daisy,

Problem is that there are going to be some days of overlap if I go with this, i.e. a few days before and a few days after my 2-week business trip to the US. I don't know how he is going to feel about this, but I'm honestly terrified to bring it up again. He really freaked out on me last time when he just learned I was coming back. This does mean that we will save loads of money, so in my opinion it's the best solution IF we are not moving back in yet. The other thing is that I don't know if I believe him that this is what he wants. He does flipflops all of the time, so this is why I want to wait until the last moment possible before discussing it, but I also don't want to be seen as manipulative...Ugh.

I don't mind the staying at a friend's at all, as it would be my own place. I just think he's being really weird about the whole situation by not even being willing to see me and discuss this in person before making a decision like this.

Anyway I might be going through Dublin next week for another business trip, and I am thinking of sending an email just saying I'll be staying X nights, but as he has classes, won't be able to see him. This would give him the chance to say that I could stay at the house on either of these days and IF this happened and things were good, we might have a better chance to at least have a normal discussion about things. I just need some inspiration on this still!

ITH
