It has taken me quite a while to realise I am not all that bad too.
Meeting new people who think you are fun and interesting while GALing should help underscore that for you. I have found that to be the case. Have you thought about how to react when men start showing an interest in you? I am trying to sort this out right now. Jody says it's pretty common for men or women to start showing interest when we LBS's kick the GAL activities into high gear. Telling H some very interesting stories about your interactions with new friends may cause him to question his past perceptions of you.....

Did H live in London before you met or after the separation? Wouldn't it be interesting if H saw YOUR life in London as the life that he had hoped for when he lived there?
Regarding your H looking for a new kitty, there will never be another Maple,.....but could this be an opportunity for increased communication between the two of you? Cat lovers love to talk about their cats, don't we? Maple could send little greeting cards, toys, or catnip to her/his? new step-sibling.
