Oh wow peeps....thanks for the advice, ideas and supportive comments. I feel like I'm a bit of a loose cannon today, but I refuse to pick up the phone. I will not call him, and be that sad person. I can be sad on my own, but I'm not calling to let him know that.
If it is true that he is practically telling me that he is open to a calmer and different me, then I will be that person!
And yes, I really did have to call him. I have our dog right now, but H has the freezer full of frozen raw food, and I am almost out.
I guess I could have just texted, but I thought a warmer friendly tone to my request would be better. What I got was a cold polite stranger...but he did call to apologize, so maybe I did do it right?
