Ya, well the continuation was: Him: about? Me: I assumed gf has car, if I am mistaken am terribly sorry and I apologize for jumping to conclusions
Anyway, she did have car to visit family in town about one hour away. He said didn't mean to hurt you but I will not lie ( of course I think, we'll what has changed from a month ago when you were happy to lie? ). He also said that he hoped I found some joy with my children and my friends. This was my reply:
Of course it hurts but I would rather the truth than anything. I am so lucky every single day to have my babies, to be healthy, to be loved. What a gift and I have been blind too too long, focussing on what was wrong and terrible and not going according to my plan. So I gave it up. Sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need.
And that as they say is that. I gave him a very old first edition copy of poetry, rather ragged, didn't cost too much. He said, I love this poet.
