OM is no longer on the scene. He has, apparently, turned out to be a disappointment. A year and a half later.
But lest i get excited, he is still described as only a 'symptom' of our own marital unsuitability.
She says she 'loves' me as a friend, would be devastated if i disappeared from her life totally, but still wants separation, apologises for the hurt she has caused me.
She went to a new year's eve party and came back two days later. Tells me (so i won't have to hear it from anyone else) she has met a really nice man, sparks are flying.
