    Hi Tee,

    Yes, it helps a lot. And work has been so stressful lately. Too many issues that doesn’t get fixed and it’s draining all my energy. Can’t wait to go back home for a few days soon.

    Hi Tee,

    Yeah he did say sorry for it and added the smiley with one tear in it’s eye. He says that it’s been a crazy week with work, uni his dad going to the doctor and anxiety about leaving. He is going to Portugal on Sunday. I instincly wanted to react but I think I managed to stay calm and let him know that I miss hearing from him.

    Walks definitly helps. and the weather is absolutly amazing at the moment here.

    Hi Tee,

    Hi Tee,

    Yes, I hope so. Would be weird if he says that twice and then be like, I don’t think we should talk anymore. We agreed on Monday since we are both busy over the weekend. I’m really nervous but hoping for the best.

    Hi Tee,

    We agreed to remain friends, but I never liked when people tell me one thing and then doing another. It’s just wasting someones time. But people move that’s normal, just want people to do what they tell me they are gonna do.

    I’m very scared. I received a voice message from him yesterday. Saying he misses talking to me and he wants to know how everything is going here, and tell me about his life. He’s nervous about going to Portugal. We agreed to call and catch up with each other. I’m a bit nervous but he said he missed talking to me twice and he didn’t sound sad or anything.

    Hi Tee,
    <p style=”text-align: left;”>I’m scared of his reply. Since his actions and words don’t align any more. That’s what happened with the guy i was with last year.</p>
     
    <p style=”text-align: left;”>But I know i need to write and ask him.</p>

    Hi Tee,

    Yes, I have. I’m afraid of pushing to hard. Like if this is his way of wanting out and him not being able to tell me. Like a couple of weeks ago when i came home to two voicemessages from (about him coming to London before Portugal) he said anxious to see me and he sounded a bit sad.

    I don’t want to scare him away, maybe telling him something like i feel he has been distant lately and I’m gonna give him some and that he can always reach out to me. I don’t know something like that.

    Yeah, I m gonna tell them. Better to get things off my chest.

    Hi Tee,

    Exactly, and that’s what hurts the most. I’ve been up all night crying because i felt so hurt. I had plans for brunch today with the canadian girl, and I think she could tell do I told (after we left didn’t wanted to start tearing up) I contacted the therapist and I hope she replies tomorrow. I also made plans to go home and spend time with my family. I will be good for me, I need a break from everything. Especially since everybody knows about us at work, and now i feel put on the spot, because they are asking me about him.

    Hi Tee,

    He didn’t give me any explanation. Just a no I’ll be going straight to Portugal. To me that’s a break up. He changes plans but doesn’t tell me about it, that’s what been causing me so much distress. I’ts like he’s a completly different person. He hasn’t mentioned anything about Portugal. I feel like I just get a lot of empty words, and I just can’t believe that my best friend would be doing this. It just makes me question everything. But I don’t see any warning signs from all the time we spend together.

    Hi Tee,

    So my fears were true. He’s not coming to London. I asked him directly and he just said no, I’ll go straight to Portugal. I can’t believe this is happening. He broke his promise to me. My best friend! I’m so confused. I don’t what i do to deserve this. He kept promesing me that he would tell me if things changed, but he never did. I can’t keep doing this, this is too much.

    Hi Tee,

    Yeah, I don’t get it either. They keep saying he’s a good chef, but this is just not okay. It makes it a lot harder.

    I really hope he gets some time off. I miss him a lot and can’t wait to see him again.

    I’m gonna contact the therapist soon I think it will be very helpful to me.

    Hi Tee,

    Yeah not a lot, and he seems to struggle to relax. I only remember him spending one day off not doing anything. He is always ding something.

    He said that they wanted him in Portugal for one month checking the properties they have there after his stay in Brazil, so that would be beginning of June. Then they wanted him to be there over the high season (in Portugal) But now they want to open properties in London as well so they want him to go there first. It sounded like he didn’t get a clear time from them. Like me coming to visit him on his birthday in June is a clear date, but he’s not sure how much time they will give him off (he’s hoping for two days) so we can’t really plan anything until we know exactly when which I don’t like.

    I think he struggles with that too. Like I told him several times to talk to a manager about the head chef and he never did. Or try to get him to ask for shifts in reception when they needed it before giving those shifts t someone else. But it easy for me to say cuz I’m exactly the same and I’m still struggeling to set boundaries myself.

    He wrote me yesterday to check up on how I was doing and so that felt good. The surgery was hard on him so the two days he didn’t work, but worked a lot the days after. He took a day off to spend time with his family on mother’s day so he needed that. He also mentioned that being with his family is what he needed at the moment. I think that working in the kitchen that long has hurt his mental health more than he’s willing to say. We had problems with him yesterday, he made the new chef cry then kicked him out of the kitchen. Then I got kicked out and a collegue for trying to check up on the delayed food orders. Also I don’t think that he has been in a relationship before, and maybe doesn’t know quite how to comminicate (like myself)

    I have been really exhausted lately so put it aside but I  want to contact the therapist soon because she seems really good. It will have o be online and i’m not very technical but we will figure it out I think.

    Hi Tee,

    Yeah I am too, I wish I saw more initiative from his side and I’m kinda torn. We’ve been in touch once a week but I’m nervous. He’s working more then he thought he would, and on top of that he started studying four hours a day (and seeing friends and familyplus dental surgery) so he is busy. He is still coming here before Portugal but I don’t know when or how long, and he said he was anxious to go back to europe and to see me (I hope he meant to say excited). We haven’t planned Portugal yet because he’s hoping that they will give him at least two days off and that he can provide him a place to stay so we won’t have to stay at a hostel or something. I have been batteling with all my triggers and extrem emotions for five months now since he said that he liked me. I know this is normal but I am really worried that it’ll all bee for nothing because he’s gone for so long and his poor texting skills. Our plans once fell apart for a day off together because of it. And seeing all the couples at work (we now have yet another couple) has been really hard. I hope that I’ll be seeing him by the end of this month.

    Hi Tee,

    I not quite sure it’s gonna be like that. Right now I only hear from him when I write, and after several months of getting dysregulated by this i feel like I need more because it’s really hard on my health. But I’m hoping for the best.

    Hi Tee,

    So he’s decided to go to Portugal for the high season. His coming to London before that to catch up with me and everybody else. He still wants me to come and visit, and it seems like they are gonna open properties here in London as well which he is excited about since London is always busy so maybe there’s still hope.
