Sorry I really meant it slipped my mind to reply because I was too busy but I get what you're saying, Julia.
the thing with H is that he usually replies to texts in minutes. Emails usually the same day. It's only when we've just had an argument and he is playing the 'I want no more contact' that he'll let them go unanswered.
I'll be ready for another contact but I'm really expecting him to come back and ask did I get his message?
