Day... I lost count, but 5 weeks? 6? He sent an email. I told a friend when he could finish moving out, then had her read the email, reply if necessary, and file it away. I told her not to tell me any of what he said, or even if she responded to him. I... I don't want to know him anymore. The only exception would be if he wanted to come back for real; for life. I've been systematically removing his friends and our mutual friends (those who haven't really been there for me) from fb and chat. It all feels bad, but I think it's better to struggle through in sadness than to face him and spiral into despair.
