Good to hear from you, BeingMe! Thanks for the props. Actually, I have published several things in my professional life and been on editorial boards. Only a few things that were creative. xH used to say I ought to write a book--guess he gave me plenty of material! Maybe I will write that book, once I have a bit of perspective on all of this.

I was really feeling the betrayal over the weekend. And I should know better--I need to get out more often, even if it's alone, and get out of my head. Being alone all weekend and talking only to the dogs isn't the healthiest thing I could be doing!

Yeah, about the long-distance "relationship"--I'm not sure what to call it either! He has this sense that the first relationship after divorce is doomed, and I think that's why we don't have names for things--like who we are to each other and how we feel about each other. Because if it isn't a "relationship" it isn't doomed! Which is fine, really. It's good that we're far apart, because we'd have drowned each other instead of keeping each other afloat. And slow is just fine. (just hope someone else doesn't sneak in in the meantime!)

I'm thinking "chuffed" is a good thing, eh? Thanks!
