I had daily contact with my ex from Feb - Aug last year. He often said "hope you are ok" occasionally, "are you ok?".. he has never said, how are you. Since being with OW.. even the hopeyou are ok's have stopped.
He's not going to ask you how you are.. he doesnt want the answer! He knows he left you for someone else, so, he is guilty and ashamed.
I think the fact he is even bringing up the house in a text shows he is keen to sort it out. Maybe you should text back saying whatever it is that is the truth.. as in, no I didnt, as I wasnt sure what the estate agent had said to you?
And then leave it at that.. so he will have to explain, or ask you again what you want to do. I also would STRONGLY advise you to get your own estage agent/rental agent round. Dont tell him, dont use the same companies he did if you dont want.. but just do it for yourself. Find out what your house is worth for selling, renting and make your own decision before you two speak about it. This is your life and I cant see that he is going to change his mind.. he wants the responsibility of the house off his shuolders, so thats sold or rented. You may as well arm yourself with the facts if you cant face asking him!
Or.. how about you text him to say, give me a call whenevers good for you so that we can talk about what the estate agent said?
What would you like to happen here? Whats best for you?
