no its ok i will post it on here but it might not be in the right order, it's all just being put down as i think about it
we never got to fully finish talking because we got interrupted, as i said
but he told me that the day he said goodbye to me in the uk (he left my house and went to thailand the next day), he drove off in floods of tears , he found it one of the hardest things he had done to leave me behind
when i said goodbye to him in thailand he said he didnt want to let me go, the pain was awful, plus his friends there all said he was a c*nt for leaving me and hurting me so badly, he felt so full of guilt for doing it to me he found it easier to believe i wouldnt want to know him anymore.
i said we only split because of circumstances and we both knew it was going to happen, he never treated me badly and i never thought he had, but his aloofness in the intervening years had made me question the whole basis of our relationship, and that was the thing that hurt me.
i told him i had refused to believe he never cared and that i had decided in my own mind that he had kept away for exactly those reasons
he apologised and told me he was an idiot and in hindsight he should have come straight back to me when he got back
we also agreed that whilst we have an undeniable chemistry between us still, we both know we wont be together forever, as he will want children of his won at some point
i reminded him that this was not something new to me, and i have known this from the off, but he wasnt looking to have them yet, so we may as well just enjoy what we have for now and see what happens
then we had to cut short our conversation
but basically he really did love me, there are still feelings there but we know we wont end up growing old together, though we will always keep a friendship somehow when the time comes to go different ways
i have found all this confirmation of our past really quite intensely emotional
i didnt feel like i was ready to try and continue the discussion today, and he was definitely hungover, plus kids were about etc
