Hey Peace, thanks for thinking about me. The kindness approach is nothing new, that is how I have been since the beginning of all this because that is the way I am.

Things are the same. He is supposedly moving out next week. I backslid a little by asking for a hug. Now he is distancing himself, oh well. I needed one, so I asked for one from someone I have known over 30 years.

He is away on "business" - ie, the ow. I find now that I am more relaxed when he is not here. He works from home and it is very difficult. So even though he might be with her, I am enjoying my time without him. Not an eggshell in sight.
