You have to see it this way, he is now extremely confussed and is very impulsive and selfish many times. So I need a good, nice answer to his e-mail that will make me read unpredicatable, busy, and better that what he thinks.

Here's his e-mail.

I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. Like I mentioned when I called. I would like to talk with you. I don't think now is the best time, for me or for you. It's too recent. What I do know is that I need time to analize things. I'm a very impulsive person. I do things without thinking. This is the first thing I want to take my time to do it right. Never in my life have I ever been so confussed. I need time to think .. and to think exactly what I want. I've already caused you too much pain. Let's at least have contact thru e-mail. This way we wont have to see each other and fight over the past. If I want to talk, it would be about the present and the future. I don't know what the future may bring, I don't know ... but I also know that I don't want lonelyness to play a big part in this and to push to make a decision that we might later regret in a few years.

Please. I hope you understand me. I feel awful already making you go thru this. But I need to learn to be alone before I can stablish a relation sheep. I need to be sure of who I am before I hurt anybody. As mentioned before .. I want to talk with you. I hope we can do it thru e-mail.

A kiss and I'll await for your e-mail. -------

--------

As you all can read, he seems to want to give in but is too afraid, but I need to answer something that will make him say WHAT? OH MY GOD?!! I'M LOOSING HER, ID BETTER WAK UP" or say 'OH MY GOD, I WASN'T EXPECTING THIS, I DO WANT TO HEAR FROM HER MORE AND MORE"

Sound busy and at the same time OK, FINE, BUT DON'T TAKE LONG - type of sentence.

GUYS?? GIRLS??!

Give advise as to how to reply!!!

EXCITED THAT GOD IS GIVING ME WHAT I'VE ASKED FOR!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Well, I'm not sure of your entire story, but I'd advise that you follow your heart. I'm sure that sounds cheesy, but I beleive that everyone knows deep down what they need to do. Logically and analitically, you should probably wait a while and reply in a like manner, asking questions and furthering the thought process, but that's just what I'm reading into it. Good luck and follow what you already know is true.

Saying that he needs time to think, to do the right thing sounds like the typical WS. He wants to cake eat some more. I would be very cautious, and not talk to him about relationship until he has no contact with the OW.
