Emails can definitely be dangerous. I agree with the other about just leaving it alone. You did nothing wrong at all and everyone will get over it if there were feelings hurt. :)Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963117863723769635.post-87305914193178617212011-11-06T22:57:13.676-05:002011-11-06T22:57:13.676-05:00I agree with Amy - email is dangerous to read into...I agree with Amy - email is dangerous to read into. Having said that, it seems that switching trainers is fraught with problems. I hope this gets smoothed over so you aren't uncomfortable, and also just so you don't have that icky feeling that accompanies negative communication.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17207626703988850059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963117863723769635.post-54332692128107417622011-11-06T09:53:08.070-05:002011-11-06T09:53:08.070-05:00Thanks for the comments and advice everyone!

It is hard to read emotion in email (my boss at work and I have discussed this many times), so I could be misinterputing. <br /><br />Regardless, I am not going to respond back. When I run in to former trainer next, I will try and be as friendly as I would have before the email.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10313417800020012776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963117863723769635.post-72640392987732599052011-11-04T20:47:34.552-04:002011-11-04T20:47:34.552-04:00If you want my advice I would say that you should ...If you want my advice I would say that you should read over your email to her, and unless you left out something or would like to adjust something you should not respond to her email. In other words; don't worry about what she wrote, just look over what you wrote and leave it at that. <br />You went above and beyond to explain your reasoning, and in her professional life she is going to desk with this a lot. So let her; deal with it that is. <br /><br />Also; if you were uncomfortable "firing" her, you may be projecting some guilt and attributing those "bad" feelings to her. The next time you see her, you could be friendly, assume she wants to hear how you and Riva are doing, thank her for all her help, and pay her a compliment for starting you off well. <br /><br />I have to "fire" people in my job quite often, and I have moved Pippi a few times. I try not to allow people to make me act guilty, by apologizing and explaining myself to death. I figure if they want to talk further they know how to reach me, and I only contact them if I have something to say or if I feel I said something badly.<br /><br />Hope you have a good weekend! You deserve one!Emmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00012039482291111043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963117863723769635.post-44611676524379122952011-11-04T16:29:57.346-04:002011-11-04T16:29:57.346-04:00I can seem why your former trainer would be sad to...I can seem why your former trainer would be sad to lose a steady client, but as you mentioned, you're in an excellent situation now to take lessons from your BO. Do that. I wouldn't email back, would cool off and distance myself (hubby probably has a point), and would be polite and friendly in all future personal contact. <br /><br />Of course, I'm not the angry one in the situation. ;-)SprinklerBandithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02948487857418394022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963117863723769635.post-28878690439234227952011-11-03T17:03:45.015-04:002011-11-03T17:03:45.015-04:00You are entitled to pay whoever you want for lesso...You are entitled to pay whoever you want for lessons. Your old trainer is not suitable for a few legitimate reasons and your new trainer is. Simple as that, the old trainer can just accept it!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15121469297442797836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963117863723769635.post-29059678132706295402011-11-03T16:14:59.767-04:002011-11-03T16:14:59.767-04:00Email is dangerous!!

But then that is me giving advice because the real me has fired off more than one frustrated email.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472219069662152722noreply@blogger.com
