Well it took me a week, but I have now responded to the person who let me down. There was much flustering and trying to dig herself out of ever increasing hole and suggestions that I misinterpreted 'context'. I quoted her directly and pointed out that I thought that pretty much did set the context.
I am becoming myself again. I never used to be a doormat, then had a few years of it, now I'm back and it's how I should be. I don't shout or lose my temper but I make sure my feelings are known.
This week a man sent me a text message asking how I was and what I'd been up to so naively I answered and said I'd been to Istanbul, got my dog back, applied for and turned down an overseas job etc etc.
He replied- 'I meant guys.'
Nice- how much more clearly can you say - I don't care what you've been up to, I only care if I still stand a chance?
I gave him my Tesco analogy to which he replied 'LOL you're too fussy! I am an ALDI man- good value but you know what you're getting'
Idiot.
I then ignored following messages until he wrote 'so do I stand a chance?'
No.
His final message was 'remember you deserve a good man'.
Ummmm yes, I know - evidently that was my point.
People will always surprise you, for good or for bad...
So, returning to my earlier issue; I would like it on record that in a silent building, but for a room of people having a meeting, wooden doors are not soundproof and I do not have WELCOME stamped all over my arse.
