OhBaby Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 I went out with a guy for about a year, and was madly in love with him. Well he cheated on me and we broke up about 4 months ago. 2 months later he left to work in France until the end of the year. We left on friendly terms - we have to work together later on so no point in making a big drama. Well I have been doing a great job of ignoring his phone calls and text messages despite the fact that it kills me. He eventually stopped trying to contact me as much. I did, however, get a very mushy email from him yesterday. I think it would be really rude and obvious not to respond. Besides, I want to maintain the friendship and am curious as to his life over there. How do you suggest I respond? Do I completely ignore the personal stuff and just be civil? Do I admit that I miss him?? I don't know where to start. There are a million pages of questions and comments in my head but I have to whittle it down to a light hearted two-paragraph email. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Pocky Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Depends on what he wrote. Is he making an attempt at having another relationship with you and if so is that something you want? If you still have feelings with him and you'd like to give it a second chance then just be honest. If you don't have any interest in starting a relationship with him again then I would acknowledge what he wrote and let him know that you appreciate him being so honest with his feelings. Give him some positive message and then talk about something else. Something very "friend" like.
