That's all I've figured out for now. Maybe someday I'll figure out something a bit more constructive.
Ex called me today, talked for a minute and then told me his sister was calling and he'd call me right back. And he DID! I don't think he ever returned a phone call while we were dating. WTF? He keeps saying he's clean now and I am starting to wonder if he's telling me the truth. He's sure acting sober. Damn him for attempting to kill my carefully constructed image of him as a hopeless druggie.
I'm actually happy for him, I hope he can do it.
Hmm, maybe I am reading more into this than I should. If he is indeed clean now, I wonder if you'll talk to him again in the context of getting back together. Just be careful, ok? I know the trickiness of all of this. OTOH, I hope you are just truly grateful that he is clean. I know, for me, that I'd probably get sucked back into something. Not saying that is your reality, just sharing my own. And, of course, you realize I am projecting my own reality on to you, right? My own fears, my own stuff. One has to be aware of this, as am I.
