@Jonsnowsghost I would defo have checked the social media photos too, dont feel bad! I've taken myself off facebook but once a week or so I let myself check 
@TinselAndKnickers that is some big news! What do you plan to do next? It's so tricky...too loving and forward and he may find it too much but too cold and he may find it too little...sounds like you got the balance right, a cuddle but no kiss 
@rowlett I'd see if you can find a pic of his sister and then ask her. I'm sure she wouldn't mind if you're just asking that hes ok...
@herbsmokedchicken I hope you can find some fun stuff to do at the weekend to distract you...I'm planning cinema with a friend.
I've been distracting myself with work for a few days. His communication is getting less and less now they are living and working so closely, I dont message him now either out of respect. He sent me an email yesterday saying he will always love me (great) but he needs to see if he can work things out with his ex (crap). I haven't replied. I'm starting to feel better now, getting used to him gone and started seeing someone else. It's not the same as him, I think I will probably never see him again
I wonder how long the 'honeymoon' phase lasts before he may regret his decision? A couple of months? I dont hold out much hope but in the back of my mind I wonder if he will ever contact me again.
