Mike, hell no, I didn't take him. and I had a fantastic trip, the best I could have in the circumstances. helps that my friend (we've known each other since we were 14) spoiled me rotten, and that she is a therapist so knew how to deal with me if I got morose. which, amazingly, I didn't, not the whole week. I had a ball...had some adventures, relaxed, ate/drank and generally took care of ME. He did send flowers from the kids and him, and he did call/we chatted and had good, DB classic phone conversations (pre me finding DB).
and he, of course, couldn't just sit at home and take care of the kids. nope. and I so wanted him to (my own little bout with shadenfreude). instead he had a launch party and spent my birthday with OW (ouch), and then a few days later flew to ireland for an incentive trip.
as for this trip, well, you are right, of course, I wouldn't want him to go, not as things are now. and I know 3 months is a long time, but not sure we'll even be close to where we would need to be (and that's a shot in the dark we'll ever be there). so I'll plan something fun with my girlfriends. either vegas, or maybe I'll head to florida again, or maybe out to CA (where I grew up, tons of friends just itching to make me feel better).
