Happy weekend. May I just say you are all such wonderful people with such comfort and support to spread. I really value that.
PS, True, AH, thank you for checking in on me. I'm ok. I will miss it very much, but I am thankful that at least this didn't happen with me living in the same area, and I would have to drive by and see another family living there. Hopefully the new owners will take good care of it and make happier memories. Oh...if those walls could talk...
Alison, I hope he is still moving along. It is hard to tell; sometimes I believe he is firmly stuck in depression. I do remain his friend though, and he knows how to reach me if he wishes to talk. That's about all I can do for him.
Was2, I do long for that day when I am in a different home, filling it with happier times and moving far away from the last few years of my life. There definitely will be less of a load on H's shoulders now that he does not have such a huge mortgage & loan payment to meet every month. It will probably take a few months for the dust to settle, but soon his finances should be in much better order. That is, if he keeps himself out of replay and doesn't act like he did 2 years ago. Scary, scary times. If he keeps in touch with me, I will be interested in how he's doing around Nov., just to see if he's managing to get his life back in order. It's funny...there is absolutely nothing keeping us together. We own no property jointly; we have no children; we don't live in the same area; we are already LS; nothing. And still he won't file. Then again, I haven't either. Not sure why on both counts.
Most of us really marry only once. First love endures, even unto our dying day. And we never really divorce.
