It's been three weeks since my letter and I assumed that was the end of the matter. What part of "farewell" does she not understand? But she hates me to have the last word!

It's the dreaded "half-open door" trick. She won't invite me in but she won't close the door either. She won't even let me close the door. Grrr!

(I've been waiting for two years of sporadic correspondence for her to say, "Come in and talk about it." But she never has.)

Anyway, I've got better things to do with my life than read her letters so it can just stay unopened.

Maybe she was out of town again?

You can't leave us hanging like this...and you know you are going to open it sometime!!

It will just fester if you don't open it. I could probably look back at your history for my answer, but what compelled you to write her?

I don't know how you haven't opened it...I can hardly stand not knowing what it says. Maybe it will help you understand.

None of her previous letters helped me to understand.

CE and did you state that you don't want her to reply? I find it hard to believe that any T would contact a client if he/she clearly said not to. That's reportable...
Thanks for this!

I didn't tell her not to reply. And it's not like she phoned me.

Well then it's fair of her to reply. Expected even. She could have been vacationing... Plus snail mail have longer replying rules...

I would not open it, and definitely not to gratify the curiosity of other people, when you don't want to read it. Returning it unread could work.
Did you receive it before seeing Mr T yesterday?

Nope. My spies say she's been in town the whole time.
And she wore out my doubt long ago.

No, it only arrived today.

It's not going to say, "I was wrong. I love you. I'll change. Please come back."
