Whoa you dodged a major, major bullet. Who tf says this let alone texts this? I know it’s hard right now but that’s some toxic shit you do NOT need in your life in any form.

Hang in there OP you deserve so much better and you will find it ❤️😘

OP - C1 & SC1 are 100% spot on. Don’t internalize this. This is some crazy psycho shit that broke in his head and he decided to gush it on you. These words are empty, useless, not constructive - nothing that would come out of a caring person. Delete. Block. Move On. A man that wants a woman, shows her that. This is nothing that’ve done. Dodged a bullet for sure. The feeling sux, I know, hang tight.

Though I moved on , today when he texted this I just burst into tears. I wept all way back from work to home, I froze at the lights. I feel am back to square one with my feelings. He never wanted a marriage, nor kids and no commitment & this is why we separated.
I am still single but I cannot go back to him nor he would want me to. I feel so terrible. I haven't dated anybody after that .

I’m older and still in pain after a 2017 breakup. Hang in there OP and cut that man out of your life.

Serious billing question - if during the course of the day, you first receive an email from Client A at say 11:10am and you read it, you then respond to it at 12:20pm. You get another email at 2pm from Client A and respond immediately. The next email comes in at 4pm, you read it and respond only at 4:30pm. None of the email responses take more than 3-5mins. You are working on matters for other clients at all other times during the day. How much are you billing for Client A?
