I'm glad to hear you sounding so good! I didn't know what to say after reading about your last interaction with W. The only thing I thought was, hey, maybe he doesn't really want her back. Sometimes I feel like I want to "win," but the truth is, I honestly don't think H and I have a future (right now, granted that could change). I'd like him to recognize the changes I've made and make some himself, but that's pretty much it at the moment.
I hope you're right about the detaching, and if going out for drinks with someone else helped that, I'm happy for you. I keep thinking of what Homer said we're saying when we feel like we have to have the WAS back and fail to recognize the myriad possibilities out there: "I'm a pea brain! I'm a pea brain! Don't you want to be with a pea brain?" Cracks me up.
Re the assault: Have you ever thought about saying, if she ever brings it up again, "You're right. There's no way you can trust me"? Just a thought.
Hey, H asked me to think about whether I want to make any big purchases like a 42" plasma TV. Considering how much you're enjoying it, maybe I ought to consider it. : )
Sounds like you're in a better and better place, Heim. Take care.
