The next stage, maybe

[AliSuddenly]

Oh dear, I was in a rush today! I'm really sorry Julia, I certainly didnt mean to sound harsh.

I cant remember who it was that told me, that until the ow is off the scene, or they are thinking of leaving them, then theres not much you can expect. But, yes, ride it out if thats your choice.

Naej gave me plenty of 2x4s when my ex first stopped contacting me. It turned out he was with an ow and he may now be living with her. Personally, I wouldnt be able to handle that, its painful enough to know he is dating her. But then, perhaps its an age thing, I am finding it hard to be left at this age and worried about my future. If you feel you have time to wait, then why not? i dont think he has any bad feelings towards you at all, not from what you have said and from his emails.

I agree, wouldnt be good to rush into selling the house! I was thinking about that.. I dont know if the new rate cut was advantageous for you, but could you offer to cover the mortgage all by yourself, so that he doesnt have to pay half? Then he wont be under pressure to sell and that would buy you more time? Just an idea.

I wonder when he will reply? You are doing a good job of distracting yourself, but it is hard, waiting.
