Julia, I suspect it's because I have had no contact and this was one way to get me talking to him and it worked. This was exactly what happened the other times I had NC and DB coach said to abandon. I should have recognised it but I didn't until I had replied. However, maybe it was for real. Time will tell. A 180 would be for me to come back with a proposal but I said i wouldn't cos this was what he wanted and although I wouldn't stand in the way of his happiness I wouldn't instigate the process.
Oz, the call was about a family member who had some difficult health news. It's upsetting but still a little up in the air so time will tell. Thanks for your care
