I agree wholeheartedly. Italy is a beautiful country. BTW, so is Ireland but I prefer Italian dining.
Despite the tears (him as well) and the very sincere sounding "I miss yous", "I love yous" and I "don't want to lose our friendship" and the VM that I had to leave him the next night regrading insurance that was required to be signed which should have had a response, he has not contacted me. So, as actions speak louder than words, he obviously does not want contact with me.
I will remain dark until he contacts me and, at least for the next while, take things very slowly in responding. I do wonder if he will contact me, though?
As to living my life, I am albeit a little more gently than before BD. But I am also dealing with a few other of life's crisis as well (sick parent). The truth of the matter is that in the last few years we have become very independent since we were long distance - which was identified by him as one of the main problems with our relationship (although at one time my independence is what he loved about me!)and one of the true reasons that it is unlikely that anything more than a friendship will survive this. Now, he has someone physically with him presumably being dependent and affectionate like I never was. No reason to miss me when she is there!
So, deep breath. Let go of him and hold onto me. Gotcha!
