Hey PiB,

Nope, no 2X4's from me either.

In your shoes, I would have found both initiating the phone call, and the innuendos you overheard very "discomfitting" to say the very least!

You know what though, she just might have the idea that you don't trust her (maybe it's even a juvenile joke?) and hence her queries about what you said etc.

What's MUCH more important is that you 180'd your response...you displayed the hurt, you reminded him (DUH!!) of how this was a trigger for some pretty MAJOR hurts from the past.

And he empathized...the feeling was right, right? You sensed his sincerity? All good...and let's hope he's taking notes on "what not to do" in the future!!

You did GREAT!

Shiny
