H responded to my email promptly - for the 2nd time this week. He talked about his work and his goals, and how if he reaches that goal, I can look in to buying over what I'm doing. WTF??? (He sets his goals high, but says they are realistic and attainable.)
Have you ever heard of someone leaving their spouse then offering to give them enough money to BUY over a company (a small one, but still...)?
If he's thinking about doing this for me, what has he offered to ogre?
Most likely, he's still delusional. He still has a lot of debt to pay off. But if the company does as well as he thinks (it is possible), he may have no problem with that.
I know there's not much sense in trying to analyze why he's contacting me now. It seems to me that H still seeks my approval. Or that he wants to let me know just how well he's doing. As well as the issue of his father not giving him enough credit, H has said that I didn't support him enough in his work. I have always been supportive of his abilities, but I am guilty of not praising him for his efforts (H has always been the type to pay someone to do the job for him).
So my problem now is - do I need to respond to his last email? If anything, I would thank him for thinking of me and tell him that I would much rather have a home than a company. But realistically, this isn't gong to happen anytime soon anyways.
I've read that the LBS has to become the OW, but I'm not a big fan of this idea. Maybe it's the thought of being an OW that disgusts me - even though I know I am the W.
Is this an opportunity for me to open the lines of communication? Or do I just let it be? I kind of initiated by updating him on the kids - have I already done my part or should I keep it going?
I'm suffering from major sleep deprivation (because of work) and have zero brain capacity to think about my sitch with H at the moment. I will gladly welcome any thoughts!
