Ok, got the lowdown this morning. This is very sad actually, sad but life hey...

"G said he spoke to *ex* on the phone on Saturday and *ex* said he has to start the ball rolling, because he just cant stand her! G also said he was being very nice about you, saying how great it is to see you again and how much he misses you. G then said, he would put all his money on the two of you getting back together!

He also said that Helen told *ex* she loved him and he said he doesn't love her and never will be able to !"


...so, thats pretty decisive. I still dont know what get the ball rolling means, I just replied to ask her that, but anyway, seems he has made his decision then. I cannot understand why he stayed with her for so long (although by his own admission, he hardly sees her).. if he can't stand her and doesnt love her? Perhaps for the s*x, perhaps becuase he was weak, perhaps he didnt want to hurt her, or, just because of work. He was VERY down at the end of February when he saw G for a night out, as he said he wanted to break up with Helen, but had been asked to tender for a contract with her, so couldnt (guess she would have awarded it to someone else if he had dumped her !!).

He told me the site works ended on Thursday, so he just has the report to write, which will take 1-2 months. I dont know if he is still sharing an office with her now the site works are over, of if he is back in his own offices. He will have to liaise with her on the report though, I bet. I said end of May...
