Redundancy is rather failing into insignificance -update on that later if anyone is interested. But my h has just sent me an e-mail asking if I want him to come back. HELP, HELP, HELP.

lydialemon · 24/03/2004 12:59

Are you OK? That must have been a bit of a shock!

Twinkie · 24/03/2004 12:59

Well?

CountessDracula · 24/03/2004 13:00

funny doing it via e-mail.

forestfly · 24/03/2004 13:00

F*ck

CountessDracula · 24/03/2004 13:00

how did he word it?

Fizog · 24/03/2004 13:00

So do you?

Is this something that has been coming for a while or is completely out of the blue?

addle · 24/03/2004 13:01

do you know why? was it a nice message? how confusing

forestfly · 24/03/2004 13:01

My heart is going, you knew something was going to happen this week

CountessDracula · 24/03/2004 13:01

SYKES??? You haven't keeled over in shock have you?

sykes · 24/03/2004 13:02

Hardly a begging letter. It said: Do you want me to come back? I'm serious.
I have to leave work in 15 minutes - how should I reply? Don't know what to do. I feel sick.

forestfly · 24/03/2004 13:02

I'm in shock, no doubt you are

sykes · 24/03/2004 13:03

gosh. why do men do things like this?? grrrr

forestfly · 24/03/2004 13:04

Ignore it, if you want him back he'll have to work harder than that. Let him try again face to face and show you he's willing to make an effort and he means it. Don't jump straight threw his hoop.
Or do what the hell you want

Coddy · 24/03/2004 13:05

have called beety

shes on the case!

forestfly · 24/03/2004 13:05

What a Head F**Ck, what a silly silly man, he hasn't actually had a clue why his done all this has he.

Mo2 · 24/03/2004 13:05

Wow !
Suggest you send something back like "If you're serious, I suggest we get together to discuss"

Non-commital, but then find out what's going on (has his GF ditched him??) and also gives you time to work out your feelings about all this.

Poor you...

Coddy · 24/03/2004 13:07

bt says give him a hard time

she is in waitrose

CountessDracula · 24/03/2004 13:07

How about "not tonight I've got a date"...

papillon · 24/03/2004 13:07

I do not know why he left originally sykes. But you should talk to him in person OR if that feels like not a good idea... you would not trust yourself or such like... perhaps you should email him asking why the change of heart and that you need more of an explanation please!

sykes · 24/03/2004 13:07

Feel it's rather his crap take on responsibility - as if I have to make the decision?? Should I reply at all - off to watch dd1 at ballet in ten minutes. Can't face him tonight.

OP posts:
papillon · 24/03/2004 13:08

I agree forestfly

forestfly · 24/03/2004 13:09

I wouldn't reply, give yourself some time to think, anything you say now will be spur of the moment. Have a go tonight

sykes · 24/03/2004 13:10

CD - LOVE IT. Thanks to all. Or how about yes for this evening and need a babysitter.
