House sale going through.Had an unexpected call from him last Saturday early morning. He started off saying" Oh love to think its come to this ..."then told me how bad things were for him ( no money no job no friends cant pay bills- all true-)and just as I was about to tell him how much I still thought about him and how much I still miss him after 3 years separation he asked me to reduce the settlement! I was so hurt to think this was really the only reason for his call. I said no, he was already getting a good deal considering he chose to end a 30 yr marriage .I later sent an e-mail which I now regret telling him that he broke my heart and not to contact me again. The phone went immediately, I didnt answer it. I then received a text message saying that he didnt mean to hurt me, he thought about me daily but imagined I wouldnt believe that, and that he would ring me later . He hasnt, yet.Snodderly you were right as usual. But he is in such a mess its very hard to remain detached.
