Aw, thanks (((Mike))), I am feeling a bit lonely already. This really is a nice but strange feeling. Since he's been out of a job, I'm used to coming downstairs to a big warm hug every morning.

He's traveled so much for the past 5 years or so, & I seriously couldn't wait for him to be gone. I know it sounds really mean, but I was just more comfortable with him not in the house. I never understood how other women would hate for their H's to travel.

New ballgame. \:\)

I was never meant to be a doormat. It took me years of therapy to become assertive enough to stop his abuse.
