Nice to hear from you again. I hope you are also enjoying the summer. – I am still doing fine.
Here is the promised update.
As I mentioned before I received a silly and angry e-mail from XH at the end of June in which he described some crazy things he did. It made me quite sad but I didn't believe a word he wrote and just ignored it.
Two days later he wrote again saying that he didn't really do the things he wrote about and he wouldn't want anything bad to happen to me. He called me by my pet name as well. – His e-mail made me laugh out loud.
Two days after this e-mail I received an e-mail from "friends". They wrote that they visited XH and described how and where he lived, etc. That he cannot afford to buy a car and that it is very dangerous to ride a motor bike like XH did.
I knew exactly that it was XH writing it in the name of our friends. So I called them and told them about it. They laughed and said they did visit him but they didn't write the e-mail. They said he does actually ride a motor bike and that it is dangerous and that he really cannot afford a car.
We talked a bit and it came up in the conversation that our friends saw that XH is still in MLC! I was also told that XH holds "his cards very closed to his chest" and didn't tell them much about him. I also told them that I might visit them in winter if I haven't found anybody to come on holiday with me. They asked me if I was looking for a partner and I said that I don't want to stay single all my life (I wonder if they will relay this to XH!). - I don't quite remember how the convo went but suddenly my friend said that the two of us had such a super life. It broke my heart to hear it from our friends and I just said that I did miss that life and XH, and I had to hang up.
Then I sent XH an e-mail saying that he made me laugh for the first time in four years. That I didn't believe that our friends sent the e-mail and that I called them. I also told XH that I didn't believe he was actually riding a bike. But since I don't really want him to be unsafe I would send him a small sum towards a car. However, it would be the last time I would contribute to anything. - I also mentioned how beautiful the area I live in is at the moment and that I experienced the most beautiful sunset recently.
Of course, he was happy that I would send him some money and wrote that he could not thank me enough and that my help would not go unappreciated. He also wrote that he is happy that he can still make me laugh!
XH wrote several times lately and always in a pleasant way writing a bit about how life is where he stays. He also wrote that when he was in hospital recently he was told that the place is full of people with bike accidents which worried him a lot.
Today he wrote again telling me what he watched on TV recently, and although he likes to live where he is he still misses my area sometimes! – He has not written that for at least three years! - I make sure that I mention my area each time when I write to him! (It is funny but just yesterday I said to my GF that I am amazed that he does not seem to miss his former life and the area he lived in. She said he would but he would not admit it to me!)
So you will all think that he finally partly reached his goal by manipulating me for so long. However, I feel less worried about him and am more at peace. It is only a small sum (and not what he initially wanted) and it does not affect my financial situation a lot since I can live cheaply at the moment.
I have had quite a nice time lately and enjoyed the hot summer weather and going out with my friends. I finally started swimming since the water got really warm. My sister invited my other sister and me to an outdoor performance of an opera on the week-end which we enjoyed a lot. We also enjoyed each other's company and had a good chat.
Re my dating I will meet the interesting guy on Wednesday I have been writing to for about one week. He is looking for somebody who can make him laugh and I wrote that I could possibly be the one – LOL! He is divorced and seems to be a nice and good looking guy (he sent me a picture). He also wrote that he met his XW 10 years ago on the same dating platform.
