Portia, I’ve been following your updates, just didn’t have much advice. Our stories are developing somewhat similar. I also had a lot of contact from H recently. I just was not posting, because I was disappointed that I barely get any traffic on my thread. You post inspired me, maybe I will go and do the updates on my thread.
I know how you feel. I was also ready to move on with my life, and these recent contacts kind of threw me off a bit. I just keep reminding myself about no expectations. It is more complicated in my case, since we have to communicate about the business. So, I don’t know if the increased amount of contact is just a coincidence. I would love to have some opinions about it, I guess I just have to post the updates, LOL.
From what I’ve been reading so far about your text exchanges makes me think that your SO either “lost” his GF, or the things are not going so well with her. I think you are doing great. I don’t really know what advice to give you about letting your SO know about your Dad. Were they close? IDK, I would probably mention it in one of the texts, like “Oh, I have to go now to check on my Dad at the hospital”, or something like that. And see if he is interested or shows some sympathy.
