Got back from a short holiday break to find a text message asking me to contact him asap to discuss offers on our house. He finished message with a X (see -Im still looking for clues)I rang him and we discussed how much we would sell house for.As usual I heard how hard he was working on keeping it clean and saleable,how many unsuccessful job applications he had written and how he didnt know where he would go when house was sold-oh,and how he was now afraid to open creditors letters.Things really do seem bad for him although I guess he laid it on a bit.Im trying so hard not to feel bitter but the phone conversation was cool and he must have sensed it.If he suggested a reconciliation now (unlikely!) I would be in turmoil.What a total mess he has created.Still,I want to be his friend if I can.
