Hi Bill -

Yes, they can make you crazy if you let them. It's interesting b/c during our last conversation (the one referenced under Christmas help) he told me that one of the tough things for him was that even though I wasn't saying this w/ our messages, but he always felt like there was some underlying hope from me to focus on our relationship and that bothered him. I really have not talked about the R until Christmas day, so that was something he was feeling (of course it was true for me, but not b/c of something I said). I asked him why he didn't just ignore my texts that were "Hi, how are you?" and he said that would make him a big jerk if he ignored me. Well, now according to the new "guidelines" that we will not talk to one another it may be that way. I'll say that there have been messages that I have sent him in the past that he has never replied to....

Unbroken: I e-mailed the info to his mom (not sure if I have her address correct, so we'll see...) and sent him one last text indicating that. He just repled that he "hoped I was ok and here's her e-mail address." I replied, "I'm good thanks, hope you are" and then told him that I did have the correct address fortunately. We'll see what happens. Hopefully, he has cooled off and may rethink his decision. I really hope so!
