Trust me, sweetie, I didn't go for the flower excuse, although at least he didn't say "Love, H" on the card which he could have b/c he had no idea that I would ever find out about them or that the florist would actually read the card to me!!!

I'm just going to play it by ear as to what, if anything, I end up talking to him about and when.

He did call call me this p.m. to let me know he couldn't meet me for lunch, however, asked if "everything was alright" in a concerned manner (I don't usually ask him to meet me @ home for lunch -- he should have I was gonna blow his socks off \:\) Anyway, said ILY when we got off the phone, etc. I think I'm letting myself get caught up in the drama again and need to re-focus my energies -- obviously on myself, my M for the next 2 wks and the boys. Then, once he's gone, I'll figure out how to DB long distance and hopefully all will go well.

Like I said, he's been talking long-term stuff now -- about the ranch we want, saving $$ while he's gone, like he never dropped the D bomb; it's kind of surreal sometimes. I just don't think he realizes how much damage an EA can do to our M or maybe I'm thinking there is more to it than there is. I can only wait & see what happens.
