Hi Scrant, I think to respond to 'I miss you' with 'in what way' would apply immediate pressure, so I'm glad you didn't go there. It is always best to respond with something more neutral - like 'thanks W' & leave it at that.

I can recall a post from a while back. A poster's WAS had asked them face to face - do you miss me? I can't recall what the poster replied - but the advice was to say - of course there are things I miss about us being together. We we were together a long time & I have many happy memories...(all said calmly and looking happy.)

I don't think that works for text & a statement rather than a question - but it may be worth bearing that one in mind in case she does ask directly at some point.

Keep fighting the urge to text more. She would love to have you as her chum if you give the opportunity. However, I don't think that will serve you well in the longer term. If she wants you to get the book, she'll come back with more info for sure.

Take care & good job with the meditation - emotions are always better brought up than stuffed down. Xx
