Author cae88 Posted June 28, 2016 Author Posted June 28, 2016 While I'd like to think that his friend can expertly handle all the nuances of his needs pertaining to you, the reality is likely that at least some of what you pass onto him will get thru to your ex, so that means you should really leave out anything about how much you care. Insensitive as that might sound. Otherwise I think you've handled it well. Hi Jen, Point taken. So don't respond at all or just leave out the last sentence?
jen1447 Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 Hi Jen, Point taken. So don't respond at all or just leave out the last sentence? I'd respond just to be decent and bc you do owe him a debt of gratitude for handling it and taking it off your plate, but I'd just leave it neutral. Sth like "You’re welcome and thanks again. I hope he's able to get whatever help he needs." 3
Zahara Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 I’m thinking to respond to his friend to simply say “You’re welcome and thanks again. I take it seriously too. I care about him and I want him to be ok.” and leave it at that. No need to pass and share that much information. Just a simple, "You're welcome and thank you so much for your help." 2
pteromom Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 I do hope his friend is able to help him if he is seriously depressed. But at any rate, if he was just saying that to you to be manipulative, he will be very embarrassed to have his friend approach him about it. He will now know that his threats won't get you to run back to him, and he will be very unlikely to use that tactic again - a win for all of you! 1
