'Best' time for the serious talk?

[HollyGoSpritely]

I need some space to work out how I feel about my relationship with DF. I think he knows all is not quite well but I've been like this before and never acted on it so I think it will be a shock. I'm not proposing we split, just that I stay in my other proprty for a couple of weeks.

So...I'm genuinely asking, if you both work full-time, when is the best time for this sort of thing? Mid-week? Friday night so have all weekend to process? Or Sunday afternoon so work would take your mind off it?

Property!

Don't really understand what you are asking? Did you mean DH?

Sooner rather than later, I would say. No good time for bad news so you might as well get it over with and keep it short. 'Least said, soonest mended'

Sorry, fiancé

Not father! That's weird!

Ah!! Ha ha!

Yes, agree with cogito. Don't pick a time. Just do it sooner rather than later.

It doesnt really matter what day it is, you just need to make sure that you pick a time when you will be undisturbed and on a day when you have nothing planned so you can talk for as long as you want.

There is nothing worse than having "the talk" and then having to go for dinner at someones house for example!

But agree with the others that it should be asap

I think the only way I'll actually do it is if I 'schedule' it in my mind. Have an exam this thu so want to wait until after that...

Ignore it until after the exam. Get that out of the way then think about it.

Get your exam out of the way. Start The Talk on Saturday morning as long as you have no plans for the evening. Make sure you have your car keys and bag near you if you think there's going to be a problem.

You need plenty of time to talk (if that's possible with him) and you need the time to be able to move out, too. No point doing that late in the evening mid-week.

Thanks everyone. Next weekend then...gulp.

Back to the books for now...

Hi holly, hope it goes OK and that having space to think helps.
