Thanks Ali - its a long way to go, and I'm sure there will be many more tears. The feeling of rejection is so strong and hurts so much... another growth phase for me probably to get over that.
The birthday horizontal jig... its a good question whether I will or I wont. On one hand we are meeting for breakfast, so the time and place might not really work. And going on my feelings over the weekend I might not be strong enough to add sex into the mix and still be able to remain detached from him. But you can never say never!!
