DMoney is right. None of this happens over night, but the day might come when he wants to be your friend. Then who knows what…
My went from saying all of those things to me that yours has said to you, I’m moving on blah, blah, blah, and seeming so absolutely certain.
This weekend, suddenly, he is telling me how confused he is, how we seem like such good friends.
When you talk to him about the kids, YOU have the power to stop conversations about any other topic. Simply say, I don’t want to talk about that. Or find a real quick excuse to hang up before he can get going. Right now, all that is doing is hurting you. It may seem rude, or mean, and you will have the fear that you will never hear from him again, but you will.
Good day sweetie.
