And another update. He rang me after he had calmed down and said he meant what he said in his texts. I said OK. Then he started talking and I suggested it would be better to meet face to face because I don't like discussing these things over the phone. He said OK. I said well we'd arranged to meet tonight so maybe we should just do that. He said yes but not the activity we'd planned. I said we'd booked and paid for it so we might as well (it doesn't take too long). He said it wasn't very conducive to a conversation. I said we could just put conversation to one side while we did it. He said he thought that's what we had been doing all this time. I said I thought we'd been out having fun. He ummed and erred and said maybe. I said we could make it a different night if that was better. He said he couldn't make any other night (so he has gone and filled up his evenings with work events yet again, so much for him wanting time and space to think then). So we left it that we will meet tonight and do the activity and then go for dinner and talk. Maybe a bit too soon for both of us. I don't know.
Any advice on how to behave tonight would be appreciated!!!
