I have to say that I am beginning to wonder why I keep putting myself through all this!
As you suggest, Julia, I very much work off Jody's idea of rewarding the positive and ignoring the rest and I think that has pretty much got me the moves forward to date. However, I guess I get tired and hurt and after a while I get fed up with it all. He says we should be friends but I suggest we have very different ideas on friendship!
I am thinking that I need to change things a bit. When I see him I always ask how he is and what he's been up to. He might ask, "How are you?" but that's about it. He never asks about my work, health or social activities. If I tell him he responds and appears interested but I don't think he can actually initiate such conversation because he would be appearing too interested. Does this make sense?
I am not going to make contact now and just see what happens.
