Snuffleupagus

[prairieheath]

I always thought being a snuffleupagus would be cool but currently I'm feeling nothing but snuffy and it's decidedly uncool. My nose is runny, I have a hacking cough and am, to quote my fantastic co-worker, "like a phlegm machine". Ugh. And now I'm achy and tired and everyone keeps telling me I sound aweful which makes me feel more awful

If I were you, I would tell him you need some time to yourself to "change tracks" (use his expression) before you will be ready to be friends. Because, as I learned the hard way, it isn't fair if he gets to break up with you but still gets all the benefits that came with the dating.

If after you have had some time (a couple of weeks or however long you need) he still wants to "hang out" then maybe invite him along with a group of friends. If he doesn't want to have a romantic evening alone, then he won't mind the presence of a few other people.

These are just my thoughts on the subject.

I hope you feel better soon--stress can definitely have an effect on your health, as I have discovered. I am trying to take it easier and shift some of my workload at work, which is not easy.
