This advice is top notch. I fell foul of this situation only recently. My ex wanted to meet up and be ‘friends’. I trusted him to be sensitive and I was prepared to make it clear that I did not want more than friendship. Unfortunately he chose to talk about subjects which were like a knife through my heart. I deflected as much as I could bear until I got up and left. I wish I had had the foresight to set the boundaries at the start of the meeting.

He then emailed me 2 days later to say he had a good time and would like to do it again!! I left him in no doubt that he had crossed several lines and we would not be doing it again. I was painfully reminded of why we are no longer together.

Hope all went well for you.

Take care
