I thought I'd do a tentative, rough draft of a reply to H. I tend to think the "I don't know" route is best now because if i say, I'm already gone, he may decide to just pursue what is in front of him. If any of you with WAW's read this, I'd be curious to know if it sounds like something your WAW might say. Here's the draft response to the "when he returns" issue:
So it sounds like the first week of Oct is the soonest you might return, or it could be several more weeks, or maybe months? You asked if that's okay with me and/or if prefer it?
I can't think of a particular reason right now why I would need you to come back by a certain time. I do want to get away for a few days in Oct, but I can get someone to watch the dogs if you won't be here.
As far as prefering that you stay over there longer, I don't really know how I feel right now. I mean, I really care about you and all that, but I have to say that the time apart has been good for me. I feel like I'm rediscovering parts of myself that I lost touch with these past few years and like I'm getting back to the woman I used to be, in a good way. I don't know if that makes any sense. I'm not sure I understand it myself.
I'm probably just rambling now and I have a lot to do today so I'd better get going.
