Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

Help me interpret this email! I received an email from a man I've been dating in response to something I said to him about my feelings. He replied "I absorbed your note without the dignity of its own response." What does that mean?
30 replies [ Reply | Watch | MoreSounds like he's mixing up that he will not dignify your note with a response... Did you say something hurtful?
[ Reply | More ]-
op: I expressed my feelings toward him pretty honestly. We've been having this back/forth and I just put it on the table. I would have said that I didn't write anything "hurtful" but in retrospect, it may have been... I confessed to having really strong feelings for him when I probably shouldn't due to our history (too long a story to write here) Now how do you interpret it?
[ Reply | More ]Then I would read it that he read your note but do not plan on responding. You should send him to a writing workshop.
[ Reply | More ]I think he misspoke/typed and meant to say that he's not going to dignify your note with a response (i.e., he is not going to respond). you should sit down and talk. but i have to say, if you've got a long history of back and forth and issues, etc., etc., he may not be the one. ime, guys who know what they want jump on and seal the deal. you may find more happiness elsewhere. gl.
[ Reply | More ]op: so right you are! But actually, he knew what he wanted back then (me) and did try and seal the deal, but i walked away. Now the situation is reversed so that's why I think my saying what I did was hurtful. I mean really, how dare I? But it was bothering me enough not being truthful that I just came clean.
[ Reply | More ]invite him to sit down and talk and let him know your email may have come out the wrong way. talk it through. and then leave it to him. you can lead a horse to water, but if he doesn't drink, let him dehydrate and find another horse!
[ Reply | More ]op: I think my note was the leading and it was enough. That being said, we had talked the other night (before my email!) about having lunch at this place we both like sometime soon and in the same email I quoted above, he said he was busy this week but would take me up on it another time. WTF?
