Not Coping

Hey @Birdofparadise8

I'm here for a bit 💚

I've just seen my uncle and we had a good chat, but I mentioned the miscommunication we had.

Text

When I read his text he said Saturday, I can do a catch-up at about 2-2:30.
For a walk/drink I thought he meant he was only free for 30 min.

"me" Did something come up on the weekend?

"him" No, nothing extra came up. I mentioned I was going to be playing golf and wasn't sure if it would be a morning or afternoon tee time. We agreed to confirm the time once I knew.

"me" Yeah I knew that but I thought we were going to go out to the cafe .

"him" I didn't know we'd locked in the cafe as thought the time would determine that. Happy to still go to the cafe though. I'll just have a drink.

"me" You said your only free for half an hour

"him" Lol no

"me" I replied his text "Saturday, I can do a catch-up at about 2-2:30.
For a walk/drink" saying "see"

"him" I said from 2 - 2:30 meaning depending on traffic, I'll get there between that time

"me" OH

"him" I think you've misunderstood me

"me" Yes

"him" I can see how that would be confusing

"me" Yes it was

"him" Now we have that clarified lol

"me" Okay good

"him" May I suggest in future, if you're unsure like that, it's best to just ask me if I meant 30 mins.

"me" okay.

He told me just now before he left, I upset him when I said: "see". I apologised. I didn't mean for it to come across that way. It's upset me a bit. that he was upset at me @Blackbird11

Hey @Blackbird11

I hope your girlfriend is feeling better today.

How are you?

Hey everyone @Birdofparadise8 @Blackbird11 @_PixieSolstice_ @creative_writer ,

I'm not around for long. Just popping in to say hi.

@_PixieSolstice_ , make the most of your time there. The two weeks will zoom by faster than you know it. Sunday's used to be the day I looked forward to the most because we would organise outings to walk dogs, go to special bakeries or cafes, the beach, bushwalking, shops, city. It was so supportive. Some days, I didn't want to go, but I made myself go because I needed to get out. Give yourself a little push. Not too much, but gentle enough to get you further than where you are. Good work on what you everything you are doing. We recognise it isn't easy.

@Birdofparadise8 , it's good you spoke to your uncle. Sounds like you have a good relationship with him and he can be open and transparent. That's valuable.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Please take care.

Yeah, I guess I'm just sad I upset him. I didn't mean to @tyme

Have a good avo. I'm going to the dumpling market tonight.

Hey @Birdofparadise8

It's good you could have that conversation with your uncle. Sorry to hear you both got upset. I'm sure you'll be able to communicate better because of it. So brave of you to talk it out.

I'm just out tonight going to a gig with friends.

My GF is better still has headaches and weak but ok.

Hi @Blackbird11

Do you think I was rude saying “see”?

Ah okay, I hope you have a good night.

Tag me in a post when you’re next free.

Hey @Birdofparadise8

I don't think you were rude, you we're just clarifying what was said and that's ok.

It's half time at the gig... its good

Hope you're ok

He said me saying “see” made him upset line I was making it his fault.

Ah okay is it music or what @Blackbird11?

you weren't making it his fault, he's just misunderstood again @Birdofparadise8

You did good @Birdofparadise8

It's a tribute band
