Before we hung up, he reminded me we'd talk after the conference, but now I don't want to. I actually feel like getting rid of every item I owe that he gave me or reminds me of him. I'm thinking about emailing him or calling tomorrow and telling him the truth: that I don't want to talk to him on Saturday--or never, but maybe it's best to give an excuse? I want to be authentic--that's one of my personal goals.
What do you guys think about Saturday? Excuse? Truth? Email or call to let him know?
No Excuse! You'll regret it down the road. But do tell him one way or another. Just say you'd rather not meet up Saturday, and leave it at that. No explanation or reason necessary. But Never Say Never.
Oh, and regarding the items of/from him that you want to get rid of: Pack 'em away in a safe place... but first take one or two items out and burn them. Make a ceremony out of it. Seriously.
