Althea - You did a great job DBing - in fact, you were a GAL poster girl. I firmly believe your H would have been home today if not for the fact that he was such a POMPOUS WEENIE-HEAD!!!
Here's my psychic future forecast:
A year from now, ex-hubby returns to town. He's distressed to find the kids have grown older in his absence, and rather prefer the company of the athletic, hot new guy in Althea's life. Meanwhile, OW has heard her ticking biological clock, gotten herself knocked up, and now has hyperemesis gravidarum and has dropped out of the working world. ExH is understandably not too happy with his reduced financial circumstances and the collapse of his dream of DINK freedom.
Althea - if you google Teepee Glass you will have details of the show that is currently on in my workplace. We have an office and gallery! I particularly like Pippa Stacey and Lucy Batt's work. Pippa does the finest detailed work, and her 'Tales from the Glass Forest' is a wonderful piece of work. She has a character called 'Fairy Elliot' who appears in much of her work, Not at all winsome - but a beautifully drawn Athur Rackhamish sort of fairy. Thought it might appeal
Althea, I'm glad you posted. And I'm glad you're on the other side of this. You're going to come out of this better. Him?
Not so much so. I suspect the forecasts may be right (H is going to be rapidly disillusioned and DINK world will not continue) but who can say. You alreayd know you will be well.
Your work is amazing, by the way!!
PS...as always let me know if you're back my way and we'll have chocolate martinis...mmhm.
