Hi SIrPrize, thanks for posting! No, I wasnt going to turn up in a raincoat! If we were in piecing, maybe, lol. Thankyou for the analogy. He does have to come to his own decision. One thing I know about my ex and he had said he is like this, he is VERY slow to make up his mind and speak up/act, typically 1 - 1 1/2 years!! So this is par for the course, IF he is still undecided (as his friends seem to think, but who really knows!?. He's a master of concealment, so I'll believe it when I see it.
I am trying to love on myself, its hard though when things keep coming in to doubt myself. For example, my BMF has dropped me like a stone, which is probs for the best now his W is back, but he's been a bit dismissive and offish when we have spoken, maybe its his dented ego, or partly to 'show' her I'm nothing to him. My sister keeps hanging up on me too, as she is going through a bad breakup and starts rows with me (shes 41 !!). And whenever someone doesnt reply to a text or return a call I take it much harder than I would have in the past. So.. got to keep trying to build myself up, but it is hard. There are new friends around though, and old, that tell me really nice things and build me up and I'm grateful for their support.
Thanks Snodderly and Trixi.. I am happy I sent the text NYEve, I thikn that was ok, I didnt say much! And he responded in kind, so no damage done. I would like to email him to say thanks for the gift, but IF I do, it will have to be with ZERO expectation of a reply from him, so I'll think on it.
