I have to admit, that in spite of all that is said here and trying to move forward and the progress....there are still some feelings lingering. Not to get back together .... but how can you have a meal with what used to be your family and not have certain feelings. I can not put my finger on it or put it into words but it is a feeling of sort of a comfort zone.... I have to admit that my XW's thoughtful gift touched me more than I care to admit. Why? Probably because she did not have to get me anything (I did not) and for her to take the time on her vaca with her boyfriend to pick something out for me and knowing exactly what i like....well....like I said, i can not put it into words. That is probably what got me blue for a good chunk of the day. I did rebound during supper with my family....a very nice evening all around. I got a text message at 12:05 from IL40 wishing me a Merry Christmas....she seems to be moving rather quickly in the serious relationship arena....maybe that is what the doctor ordered....maybe not.
