You have a way with words kind18. Your post made me chuckle & really resonated.
Last week, H text & asked if I was OK, I responded saying I was trying to be ok & we had a bit of pleasant dialogue & then he just stopped the message. I know all my mistakes in this & am definitely feeling like I gain a bit more strength every week. Tonight, he messaged me again to ask if I was OK? I opened the message but didn't reply (I'd just got back from a 5 mile walk in torrential rain & wanted a shower). In the meantime, he'd messaged D asking if I was OK & then saying I wasn't answering his message. I had my shower, dried my hair and was going to reply "I'm good thanks" & leave it at that but he'd sent another message to say he was taking D for a meal on the day I'm taking S to open day at university & asked what time I would be home? I replied I don't know but I'll text D to let her know ETA. He then replied OK with a kiss. I didn't respond.
Have I got the message this week about right? I don't feel I'm game playing. I genuinely feel OK & would have responded if he had waited. I'm trying to think friendly flatmate but also second guessing my every move.
