Thanks, Kat. I know you weren't belittling the situation. It feels good to know you are there if I need you.
Tal, thanks. I'm lucky to be where I'm at. I won't make the same mistakes again. Thanks for the hugs.
Mel, there is always hope. Yeah, I am going to just let the answering machine get the calls unless my H answers them. I could have his number blocked, but he would just use a different phone. I could change to a private number and that may be a step I'll take if he calls again.
Karen, thanks. I do have a cell, and if people can't get ahold of me on the landline they can call that. My friends and family have that number, and I never gave it to the former OM.
Thanks, JWM. I will tell H about this if it happens again, because I'll have to. I hate that former OM lives close and I could run into him at any time. Before, it was because I didn't want to hurt him by having to see me with my family. But now, it is because I am afraid how he will react. I think he could get angry and say something to my family.
So, anyway, no calls. Good. I was sick last night. Nothing sounded good to eat but I knew I should eat. I said, "Maybe a McDOnald's burger." H jumps up and says, "You got it." He came back with a meal and surprised me with ice cream, too. He takes care of me like no other man ever could. I love him so much.
