I agree with the majority.....go and let him have the option of joining you. And rent that convertable!!!
You sound as though you are weathering this pretty well. You are a good woman Jackie, and I'm hoping he realizes it in time. But you will be fine, I have no doubt.
I read somewhere here where going to Va. Beach had brought back memories of trips you and he had made there.
I had never been across the Bay Bridge tunnel except with my STBXW, or trhough Va. Beach (we used to take that route to the Outer banks). The first time I ever crossed it was on our honeymoon.
It was sad on one hand because of the memories........but, now I can say that I have been across it without her. It's just another tiny piece of letting go.
