My Bloody Ex!!!!

    Oh Dear God, my heart is racing...

    I'm the girl who wrote the post the other day about being back in touch with my ex and being very
    confused by it. To summarise for those of you who didn't read it, broke up with my ex of 4 years 2 years
    ago. Lately we've been back in touch and we slept together last weekend. He's been a touch a far bit
    since then but I have no idea how he feels about me now or if he's using me for sex or what the hell he
    wants so, on the advice of boardsies, I just sent him an email asking him EXACTLY what he wants from
    me and I also explained how I feel about him.

    It's the most vulnerable, honest message I've ever written and my heart was in my mouth as I hit send. this
    in itself made me realise how much I care. His response to this will have a huge effect on me either way. Oh man,
    I'm almost shaking.

    I don't even know why I'm posting this here, PI to me is a place of comfort and support I guess.
    It took me about 10 minutes to hit send and the minute I did I almost screamed.

    Thanks for reading and wish me luck and the best outcome please!!!

    Sorry for babbling:)

    at this stage i'd normally recommend a hot whiskey. however, not knowing you well enough, i suggest meditative breathing. also, power blasting your fave songs off your computer :D

    Look on the bright side lass, no matter what happens, at least you'll know. But don't sit waiting for a reply. you'll only drive yourself mad. Any chance you could meet up with friends?

    Thanks Red...he won't get it until the morning so I won't know until then!! I don't even know what I want to read, hot whiskey is a great idea.

    It was actually on your advice that I mailed him!! Ha ha...yourself and Sir Wibbs!!

    Oh oh we're in trouble(you'll notice the "we" bit Red).:D

    Joking aside, I think you did the right thing regardless of outcome. You've put your cards on the table and either way you'll know what's what. I say fair play to you.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Oh great, so we (did notice Wibbs, thanks for that) get the blame :)

    Well i'm sure you'll be grand, if not, you're flattering skills leave me in no doubt that next time you come looking in here it'll be a PI along the lines of "So many guys want me, what do i do!?!?" in which case, myself and Sir Wibbs will have a merry little chuckle to ourselves ;)

    Wow. That was brave of you.

    I'm thinking of doing the same thing if I'm honest, but I'm terrified of doing it.

    Good luck at least. :)

    Well said. I'm was wondering what are my chances of getting together with a girl I know.
    Then I had enough dithering and just asked her to do something next week. I was happy enough just that I'd asked her. Best of luck, (a little) whiskey might help too :)

    OP, at least this way you will have no regrets no matter what happens.

    How exciting! I can imagine how you must be feeling. If it was me I'd be thinking one minute that I had done the right thing and a minute later I'd think I must be nuts!

    At the end of the day, you did the right thing for you at the time.

    Best of luck!!

    P.S. This could be overstepping the mark and it's none of my business really but.. just curious - was sleeping with him better/worse/the same as it used to be? Did it feel right? (emotionally I mean!)

    very brave and honest of you. whatever he says i'm sure in the end its for the best. if he wants the same thing, great, otherwise its his loss.
