Hi everyone - Some startling developments. Yesterday, NG called to say he wanted to call the 'talking' with NG off. That the time has come to move on. And that he wanted me to help him write the closing email, because there were a few things he wanted to set the record straight on, to be sure he and I can move on properly.
Some months ago, a few of NG's more painful declarations of feelings to OW came to my attention. Because of that, he is very conscious that I have grounds to doubt him, his intentions. He wanted to make sure that being open, in an email to OW, which was also copied to me, he was making sure all three of us were on the same page.
So we spent the morning discussing what I needed to see, to help me move on. He had some views about not hurting OW too much, so we negotiated. It was sent off yesterday, basically saying that he now wants to have no more contact with her. No news from her yet, she may be out on meetings. We'll see how things pan out.
I guess I'm feeling much more encouraged than I was a week ago. But not getting my hopes up just yet. These 'endings' have happened before, though not with me in the loop, this is certainly a new twist.
