Just venting...

Yuck, h phoned. In the history of us since we split he has never phoned!!

He firstly apologised for phoning instead of email or texting - maybe in future I can ring if I need an answer about things now? I thought he just preferred it that way, maybe assuming on both parts.

He was ringing about the cat insurance - that they were paying the vet directly not me. He was checking the vet didn't get paid twice so that was good. Then asked me about the estate agents. He had texted me at the weekend to say some people were looking round. I didn't reply because I had said in my email that I was away and the estate agents would be contacting him - plus I was away I didn't want to deal with h stuff. We had a brief chat about how things were going with viewings.

Then he apologised for not answering my emails but said that the funeral for his Grandpa had been on Monday (he told me Friday in a text???) so things had been a bit hectic and that he would get round to answering them. That made me feel terrible a, for bothering him and b, for maybe being insensitive as it was his Grandpa's funeral. Anyway, I said that was fine and asked him how the funeral had gone etc.

Then he seemed to really suddenly want to get off the phone so I didn't drag it out.

Now I feel guilty for emailing and then chasing him - something I have never done before. He obviously didn't really read it or else he would have known I was away. My instinct now is to text him and say how sorry I am to have bothered him so I am suppressing that!

Sigh, hearing his voice and seeing his number flash up though, kind of made my stomach lurch and has made me wish things weren't so... he sounds like a colleague on the phone but then I notice that although my voice is light and friendly it has a certain coldness to it. This is hard.
