WOW ~ that’s fantastic! Yes she needs rest, but call her again in 2 or 3 days and ask if she’s feeling any better. Maybe ask if she needs anything, like some groceries (milk, bread etc) or medicine (pain or cough med etc). Maybe even help with the kids.. Hope she feels better soon:)
Did she mention receiving your birthday card?
July 1, 2019 at 7:11 pm #112648No she didn’t mention it but she would have gotten it by now. I was not expecting a response from it. I didn’t get a response from the mothers day card I send her.
July 1, 2019 at 8:25 pm #112649Mother’s Day was back in May at a time when you two weren’t on the best terms. But now it seems recently you’ve been connecting and communicating better. And since she’s not feeling well, I can understand why the birthday card might have slipped her mind during the brief conversation today..
Continue to be your sweet caring self:)
July 3, 2019 at 6:15 pm #112665Just had a conversation with her on facebook. It felt like I was driving the conversation. She did ask about a few things but it didn’t feel like a friendly conversation. She is still recovering from the flu but it’s frustrating. I’m making an effort!!!!
July 4, 2019 at 7:43 am #112672For the most part, texting isn’t the best way to communicate. Tone of voice can’t be determined etc.. and there’s room for misinterpretation. I’m sure she’s happy you’re being pro-active and making those efforts:) Don’t become discouraged or negative. This is a slow process and you need to be consistent through-out.
July 5, 2019 at 5:44 am #112682I think you are right. I met her to get the kids and there was something there between us. Something friendly so that is something to work on. She said I looked good lol and asked how things were with me and told me of her weekend plans. She is still recovering.
July 5, 2019 at 3:39 pm #112683This is good, plus she gave you a compliment:)
July 7, 2019 at 5:02 am #112686When I dropped the kids off to her it sparked feelings in myself. She is definitely the one for me.
We just had a nice talk on the phone for over 22 minutes. It was definitely better than that talk over facebook. She is still recovering from her flu and is still very tired so it is not the right time to ask her to do something.
July 7, 2019 at 12:07 pm #112687Glad you had a nice phone conversation, but try not to determine the “quality” by the minutes talked.. Did you call her or did she call you? Actually, that’s not as important compared to the “quality” of the conversation! Yes, phone calls are much more intimate (personable) than texts. Texting can sometimes be misinterpreted!
The flu is horrible! It makes us feel much worse than a simple cold and lasts longer. I hope she feels well soon:)
Continue to be pro-active and call her every few days.. Stay positive and give her compliments when appropriate.
July 7, 2019 at 2:12 pm #112688When I dropped off the kids I told her that I would call her later. I then texted to make sure that she wasn’t busy and she texted me when she had put the kids to bed.
At the end I told her it was nice talking to her but she didn’t say the same.
July 7, 2019 at 6:58 pm #112689“At the end I told her it was nice talking to her but she didn’t say the same.” Well, I hope you’re not upset about that. Remember, she’s not feeling the greatest. And I bet you haven’t always returned a compliment. Continue to be extra nice, expecting nothing in return.. She will remember that you’re making the effort. You treated her badly for a long time (ignoring + angry) and you need to earn back her trust.
You don’t always have to text first. You could call and if she doesn’t pick up, you could leave a voice message. Or if she does answer the phone call, you could ask her if this is a good time to talk and then, if she says she’s busy with something, ask when it would be a better time to call.
July 7, 2019 at 8:20 pm #112691No it didn’t affect me. I will keep saying it.
I will keep up the calls and telling her what’s been going on
July 8, 2019 at 12:40 am #112693Well she called me this time. I’m having the kids tomorrow night and she could have just texted to confirm details but she wanted to call. It was a good conversation and we talked about more than just the kids. I even made her laugh a few times 🙂
July 9, 2019 at 6:13 am #112718Congrats!! 😊 I’m not the right person to give you advice but your post make me smile!! I’m very happy for you! 😊 Keep up the good work!! I wish you the best, you can do this!
July 9, 2019 at 6:28 am #112720You are making great progress! You are doing really well. Hopfully once she is better again things progress faster.
Keep it up and DONT give up 🙂
