Hi Tx Mom, looks like we both are up. Sounds like H is going through some growing pains. First the big 4-0 birthday could be bothering him especially since he is in a MLC fog. Don't make a big thing about the dinner. give him his card and let him deal with his family. It will make him think more. I know you were looking forward to the dinner but it is only a temporary setback.
Like the advice you got from atty. I have not gone yet. Will not go till I feel I need it or legal questions. If H asks about D then I will think more and question everything.
I agree with the C about not validating OW even though it is my worst downfall. I have been successful since Sunday not to mention OW. Not that I don't think about her, obsess about her, and try to rid all thoughts about her but not mention her to H. Her daughter is getting married Sat and I know H went away with her to McAllen on friday night but H was here Sun,Mon,Tues,Wed and even today. She might be busy with the wedding so maybe that is why he has been around but I am hoping that it is cooling off (I could only hope). I will be able to gage better next week if he is around less.
I did not get my book yet. I keep rereading divorce busting. I understand it and want it to sink in more
