Newly Separated....Now what???

Sounds like a good plan to me, run with it. If you don't think he's going to buy the have to go the library excuse, you could have another one waiting (friends waiting on us, I don't feel good, whatever) just in case.

One word of caution cause this happened to me: I've had to do this same thing many times with W and it took me a while to figure out that I had to be nice about it. First couple of times, she came back and said I sounded like I was pissed off or something. Not what I was going for, not what you want. Be pleasant, mention that you wish you had time to talk but that you really cannot right now. Try to project real regret at not being able to talk. It really makes a difference.
