Hey K... I hear you! I accept he is gone, but...I'm not sure I would describe his email as indifferent? The fact he sent a present/email at all shows he still cares? Maybe he is just keeping a thread dangling, in case it doesnt work out with Helen! But if I'm going with the present then..presently, after 14 months apart, we are still in friendly contact at least. So..just do nothing? As in..not even reply to it? Hmm, feels counter productive, I dont know! I think I will email back at some point. Thanks Whatever for that also...
So, in answer to GFI's question...would I take him back? Yes I would, not because I need him, I dont.. but because of all the people I have ever met in my lifetime (male and female) I would say he was possibly my most favourite, my best friend, the person I feel the most comfortable with, be myself with, makes me laugh, makes me cry, makes me feel like I am 'home' and who I could spend a lifetime with.
I'm sure some of those statements are true for him too! but sadly not all of them hey. xxx
