Hey, no problems, folks. Like Salem said, I don’t have to worry about it. And that’s a very good thing - things were a little awkward for me this weekend when they didn’t have to be. Next time it won’t be. I’ve certainly grown a lot since that The Conversation 3 years ago - I had laid out an ultimatum, ferchrissake!
Sorry about the outcome, but the rejection is better then a lifetime of thinking “what if?”.
Now nothing can prevent you from moving on.
