Thanks Ali and JCJ,

This isn't the trial, just a "grace" period of a few days I guess.

Just got home, nothing looks out of the ordinary, and I haven't heard from H at all today. I signed out of IM before I connected to the Internet as I don't want to be in a weird headspace if he reaches out to me. At this point I still feel a little bit in shock.

It is maybe a bit strange just to be home though and not say a word, so I think that around 9 PM, if I don't hear from him first, will just send a quick email asking him to enjoy his night and mentioning he really deserves to blow off some steam.

JCJ--I guess my real expectation is that H will come home drunk. Not sure how this will play out, but should be interesting. This is a whole new dynamic now, i.e. I am "home", and not going back to Poland again.

Ali--thanks for the link to the article. A lot of it sounds REALLY fitting for my current situation. Let's just hope that I can act with enough grace and dignity to demonstrate to H the benefit of a new beginning with me...

I am going to go to the store now and get some stuff to cook dinner with, and try to just relax here a bit, do some cleaning, watch TV, and make sure I remain calm and positive.

ITH
