Okay- we had a chit chat on the way to dinner. I said that upon further reflection, it didn't seem wise to be making out with other people. He agreed that it could lead to undesirable results. Did NOT want to rewrite the contract. "After all- [he] IS moving out." I said that if we were trying to get our heads on straight, that it didn't make sense to be adding a whole other dimension of problems. Additionally- we have 12+ years of fidelity and the bell can't be unrung and shouldn't be willy nilly thrown away. His response "I have told you, I am NOT doing this just to go out and get laid and screw everything that walks by. I don't need that. And if we get back together, that wouldn't be good for us." To which I said "true dat!"
We went to coffee later and he was talking about the most popular cars and was saying he thought corvette was number 1 and mustang number 2 and I said "Boomers hit Mid-life crisis" and he laughs and says "you think I'm going thru a mid-life crisis?" and I said "I think that you are, yes. Additionally, I let you get away with WAY too much for WAY too long, so it was hard for you when I put my foot down....(he was nodding at this point) and once you are out, you are NOT going to be able to get away with that stuff and have me back." His closing thought-"If we make it through this, we are going to be stronger than ever; If we don't, you'll always be my friend and I'll always love you." (I said I would always love him, but I couldn;t say that I would be his 'friend' since I am his WIFE and he's my HUSBAND.)
Anyhoo-right now he is singing karaoke to me (just like the old days) and we'll be leaving for a midnight showing of Bourne Ultimatum in less than an hour.
