Looky looky milk and cookies! Almost fell out of my chair today. The ExW sent me a text message wishing me a nice birthday. First personal, friendly non business, non legal issue communication since March 07. I figure a year with the OM and things will start to wind down. Its been a year now. By 18 months all those high school infatuation feelings will be dead. However folks, just because the OM is gone doesn't mean the MLC is gone.

LD - Keep on keeping on. I don't know where the 6 months timeline comes from. From a brain chemistry standpoint 18 months begins a more realistic phase of a romantic affair. When infatuation gets replaced with " Oh my God who is this POS lying next to me", thats when things will get interesting.
