I'm so rubbish at any type of confrontation. Basically, we inherited a gardener when we bought the house. Never had one before and we were a bit uncertain, but he was a nice guy.
Started ok, but gradually he slipped, didn't come when he said he would, did pretty much what he wanted, rather than what we asked. Cut stuff that I'd asked him to leave.
He hasnt been round now for weeks and weeks (july, I think) and not a word. Dh and I had just had enough - decided to manage ourselves and invest in a decent lawnmover instead.
So, I sent a polite text...
Got a rant back. He's lost a family member to cancer. He's furious and hurt at me. How dare I etc etc.
I'm feeling really crap today anyway (chest infection) and now I feel really guilty. What do I do? Leave it? AIBU???
