interesting development. I sent this to spouse via account she uses for OW:


Surprise. I never write you here so I thought Iʼd see what it feels like.



We are off very soon. I have no idea when we'll be back. I know you want to see D today but I don't know how that will work out.

I'm sure this is wrenching for you. I think this is a good idea for both of us. It gives me time to think too and I'll be able to make my decisions as well. Thank you for coming up with the idea.


Within an hour she called me and said "just wanted to thank you for your email. If you haven't made your decisions I think you'll be please with what I have to say Thursday night. I think you'll be happy" Thanked her and said we were leaving soon...got this on email:
Well, how did it feel? I wish you had written to me in the usual mailbox. This makes me feel not safe.

Thanks for updating me on D. I am sure she was proud. She is so creative and always thinking. Thinking outside the box

I have a lot that I want to say to you at the end of the week. I know we will do quite a bit of talking

I think everything is going to be alright.


Now not to be obtuse but shall I interpret this the way I most want to? We shall see. The day I never thought would come.


I have a shovel and I'm not afraid to use it.
