To answer your question Poe...CJ's Dad passed away before we got married, only met him a couple of times. His mom is still alive, very nice, don't know her all that well either. Interestingly, when I told CJ's sisters about our sitch last winter, the oldest confessed to me that his Dad had had a drinking problem, was abusive at times and left to work in BC...where he found an OW and stayed for 6 months before coming home!!!!! CJ has no recall of any of this. It seems to be their family way to "cover up" the nastiness.
CJ's family doesn't seem very "deep" in that mostly things are kept at a surface "ha ha" level. (Unlike MY family where everything is discussed...very touchy feely).
LL it IS frustrating, isn't it when other men appreciate our looks and sexiness, but not our H's! I told CJ about that note I found in my car door on Wed ( U R HOTTT...Georgous!!)...he thought it was creepy, I said...well at least SOMEONE noticed!!
And then last night: great dinner, wine, music, conversation.....chaste kiss goodnight . HELP!!!
