Well actually I don’t take his D talk at face value in fact. That was part of the reason I was quite calm during the whole horrible R talk. He kept saying ‘maybe’ and ‘probably’ and he’s not the sort of person who uses those words. To me he was saying ‘don’t pressure me’ (I wasn’t, but clearly spending the weekend together felt like pressure to him even though it was his suggestion), it was him saying he’s still confused and telling me to have no expectations. Funnily enough after the R talk I thanked him for clearing the air and we enjoyed the rest of our day and our dinner out because he’d got his R talk off his chest. Yes it was unbelievably hurtful and disappointing but I’m stronger with R talks nowadays (and they only come from him)
Anyway I will discuss it with IC, I’m not sure about Friday.
