I actually am not worried about H pumping info out of D16 as much as him just saying way too much about what he thinks is wrong with our R. D16 wants a definite answer one way or another. That just isn't possible at this time.

H was here tonight for a couple hours to do laundry and watch tv. He also brought over flowers for D16 to give me for Mother's Day. Guess he wanted to get that "duty" over with.
I know she was planning on making me something, but he didn't think that was good enough per D16's conversation. Of course, that will mean more to me than flowers although I love the flowers, too!!

When he left he thanked me for letting him come over. I told him this was still his house and he was welcome any time. I also said he didn't need to thank me. I then said it was nice to see him (I really did just SEE him; we didn't say more than six words to each other.) I mentioned if he ever wanted to come for dinner just call in advance. (I don't think I actually said I haven't cooked much since he left, but I think he understood).

H keeps saying "no matter what we'll always be friends" I just feel us drifting further and further away. I don't see how this separation can help our friendship, let alone our marriage. Only time will tell.
