    You could give her half an hour to get home (maybe she just popped out to the shops). Make yourself a cup of tea/coffee and try to remain calm.

    If she still hasn't returned after 30 minutes you could tell (or text?) her that you need to talk and could she please come home.

    My advice is to wait until she returns. This conversation, even asking for her to return so as to start it, shouldn't be handled by text. Do whatever sits well with you though and enables you to cope and get through it.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

    Just got home and she has gone out. Had built myself up to talk to her.
    question is... should I wait for her to get back or text and ask if she can come back?

    Is she likely to come back if you ask her or are you more likely to be left waiting on her deciding when she's going to come back?

    It's up to you, but if there's a chance she'll ignore your message or not come back until it suits her then I wouldn't because for me it would be worse waiting knowing she knew I was waiting (if that makes sense).

    Good luck.

    I have been reading your thread since you first posted yesterday and just want to give you a virtual hug.

    You sound like such a lovely caring guy and you deserve happiness where your love gets appreciated by a person who can give you that love and affection back.

    Good luck for this evening

    Be prepared for variations of the way you think it will go in your mind, what you have planned to say and act can change as her reaction may not be as you were predicting.....

    I hate going home.

    Time for me to bail the day i hated going into my own home...
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.
