It is just business

Mish...well,your exH also sent you a text saying you are a cutie, so might not be JUST guilt! eek.

Julia.. well done for not replying! Thats ace. Always pays to take a bit of control back.. especially if you are not sure how you feel about him now (wow, I'm jealous of all you lot saying you feel detached and not sure you still want them. Dang. How do I 'go off' my ex in that way !?)

Anyway...I think it would pay to give him a *little* more positive encouragement, afterall, his text was pretty open and honest. So his said...

I hope you had a nice evening, I did. It was good to catch up and chat. I just wanted to say that I know how much you love the house and how much it means to you, and i'm truly sorry that we have to part with it. I hope you find a lovely place to live.'

'Also if there's anything I can do to help you find a place, or to actually move, or anything like that, just ask.'

and you said

Yes, it was a nice evening. I'm actually quite excited about moving now. Thanks for the offer of help. The concert was excellent last night, it went really well.

your text was FINE! but if you wanted to give him a little more Jody-esque positive upliftment...as she says, use their terminology. If they say, it was great to chat... you say, yeah, enjoyed the chat, Subtle, but shows you are paying attention (unless you dont care to "db" and are just over this guy !!??). How about:

"I did have a good evening, it was great to catch up. Thanks for your offer of help, I'm pretty excited about moving now and I will start looking soon. The concert went great last night, I didnt hit any bum notes!"

... or something jokey about the concert??? As I always think humour wins the day.
