Hi ph, After reading all your helpful comments on my thread I finally got over to catch up on your sitch. Did you and your H dance with each other before the S? If you did, it really takes a great PMA to continue with it alone. (My H and I took Ballroom and Country Western dance lessons for many years. When I decided to work on GAL I signed up for Line dancing. It was unbearable at first to hear the words to some of those love songs to which we had danced as partners. I got through it by counting out loud to drown out the lyrics. Luckily all the songs were not about everlasting, undying love. Dancing to "Please Mr. Postman" cheered me up considerably.
You and your H seem to be on very friendly terms if you are even considering asking him to go on a vacation. Do you think it would be less stressful for him to skip the family reunion in Hawaii and instead find a cruise and an other type of getaway which he can choose between? As thanks for watching your dog you might suggest partially subsidizing the one he chooses. One caveat, you need a break so you'll be going also.
There are lots of wonderful prices on cruises that will be sailing in less than 90 days. The companies want to fill the ships so some of the discounts are upward of 70%.
Reading about your medical procedure and having to go it alone was so similar to something that happened to me a few weeks ago. It is certainly not an easy thing to go through without the person who had been your source of emotional support.
Hope your week goes well, The one certain GPZS call ISH
