Was away from my computer today. Just cheking on you. Looks like Puppy, as usual, has given you some great guidance. I am soooo thankful for these boards and people like him.
I think you handled oyurself very well. Even as a man, I have to tell you I am pretty shocked your H approached you for ML! You have to be kidding! You did the right thing.
Hang in there. You are doing great with a very difficult situation.
