GF, Mach is right in saying a week and 1/2 is not a long time. I lived with my W so the chance of running into her was high. Common ground doesn't come easy. There's a common ground somewhere but you have to find it. Call to remind him its someone's B-day or this person is in the hospital. Just don't stay on long. The first year she dropped the bomb, I called her to plead my case. I could tell by the way she answered the phone, she was not interested in talking. I said something came up and would call back later. I came to my senses and realized it was not the right time for an R talk. I waited until the day was almost done and then called back. I asked her some unimportant question. She answered it, I thanked her and then quickly got off the phone. Even though these calls were awkward at first; each call afterwards got easier.
