Thank god for moms! I'm taking notes about what yours did.
The more you live your life the better. Getting stood up is a good thing. You're out, about and have the opportunity to meet others. Actually, everything can be positive based on how you choose to view it.
Both you and your ex spouse are on different paths. You each respond differently than when you were a couple. With emails stick to the facts, drop the rest. The more you give her free space in your mind by trying to determine her motivation, the more you lose your own life.
Thank her for the ring. Usually you get an appraisal or something that certifies the value of the diamond when purchased. Try and remember. See if she can recall where it might be. An appraisal with a reputable jeweler will not cost an arm and a leg.. just the cost of doing business.
Ack.. I'll work on not trying to fix things... sorry Charlie!
*hugs*
PS.. I love reading about your relationship with your daughter.
