Please, please, please live up to your words. Do not call or email or text him today. No contact, no mailing him a belated b-day card nothing. Make it through today without any of those things. Not for him, but for you.
You can do this, use your thickheaded stubborness to your advantage. : )
Jack you know me so well. I am stubborn and I don't give up. I have always been told this. I sometimes feel like he got the better of me and that is probably why I wouldnt leave him alone. I HAVEN'T and WILL NOT call him about his Birthday. I did wish him a happy birthday, he just didnt hear it. I am sure he thought I would call. I am sure of this. He probably is GLAD that I didnt call, but probably shocked still.
