Treese,
I know what you mean about seeing him hug friends but not you. I'm in the same sitch, and it's not fun. We still live together, and even sleep in the same bed, but he hasn't so much as brushed against me in passing in about two months (except by accident). Don't tell him it hurts. He would probably just think "Not my problem."

I wouldn't give him a card for the anniversary, but that's just me--I am mirroring my H's actions in that regard, and the last time I got anything from him was last Christmas. No recognition of Valentine's Day (he sent flowers to OW and spent the weekend with her instead, and told me he "didn't feel it would be appropriate" for us to do anything about V-Day), or our anniversary in May, or my birthday in July (although he did verbally wish me a happy birthday).

Anyway, I myself wouldn't acknowledge the anniversary unless he does, but your sitch might call for a different approach. Maybe someone else will have more tailored advice.

Any news on the genetic tests?

Hang in there!

Blessings and peace,
Dawn
