Hey Lisa! Glad to hear from you. I had a feeling things were definitely spiraling at work for you.
1) That just stinks! At least you got 3 months notice! Here you're lucky to get any notice at all. Companies close with no warning whatsoever all the time.
2)OMG! That man SO wants you! You don't talk to your mum about a co-worker's divorce unless you have a direct interest in said divorce. What are you going to do Lisa?
3)So he's keeping contact, but he's not interested in being personal at all. What kind of M is that? When do you see this progressing? Have you set a timeline for yourself Lisa? I'm asking the hard questions out of love. He needs to MAN UP sweetie! If he's not willing to, then you just might have to. DBing is all well and good but being stagnate for this long is not healthy for your psyche.
((((((((((Lisa))))))))))))

Hi Lisa Just wanted to say I'm thinking of you. Hope that you and CEO figure something out about the company, and that you aren't too stressed by it all. You sound content in the midst of changes. Cool news about CEO asking about the divorce. So flattering! xxxxx
Hey Lisa, So sorry you got bad news about the job...thats really pants, as you like working there, right? But good luck with yuor plan! And yes, its obvious that CEO and CEO's mum in particular see you as MARRIAGE material.. thats quite something, you arent in his category of random women who text him are you?
As for your H... well, I was thinking about you earlier tonight strangely. I dont know how you do it/have done it, that hes been with someone else for so long now. My ex has been with someone 7 ish weeks or more (not sure) and that feels like an awfully long time already. Of coruse, he didnt really contact me in that time until recently, so its not the same.. your H continues to contact you.
But.. did you get this email today? And was he back from holiday Monday? So did he wait several days and then send it and it did seem a bit of an excuse right, but also, its not much of an email, there arent any oersonal details about his life other than, I'm off to the other office in a bit.. great! I think you would be doing the right thing by not answering it.. that would be a bit of a 180 for you.. or maybe it goes back to yonks ago when I was first posting to you (Jan-Mar??) and you werent replying for a few days back then.
It would be interesting to see what he might do if you just didnt reply till after the weekend.. and then when you did, make no reference or apology as to why you havent replied?
Alternatively, this is a bit of a potent 2 week window for communication, starting today.. so maybe make the best of that and respond but be more natural, do a 180 the other way.. say hi, what you been up to? How have you been? - more like a real friend???
Just stopping by to say hi. Impressive on CEO's part, on h's part it's strange - but probably not in his world hmmmm. I like the idea of not responding straight away but you have said that this hasn't worked so well in the past? However, circumstances are different at the moment in terms of your job but he doesn't know that i suppose.
I hope today you get a brilliant idea and you "save" the business... If not, you still have time to run off with CEO AFTER you TM your H about it... (evil laugh)...
I think, delaying an answer is a good move. The way he acts, it's not like he will be angry with you for not answering immediately afterwards. And it may get him thinking that you are really letting go and he needs to move fast...
