Hi Mattie,

I hope things are going better for you.

I think homesickness is starting to hit DD18 who is a freshman in college. She came home this past weekend and plans on coming home this weekend. As much as I enjoy seeing her, I really want her to enjoy the college life.

Haven't got to see much of Mr. A lately. He is an accountant for a large corporation. He is so busy trying to get the budget ready and to top that off, his mother had to have emergency hernia surgery last week. She lives about an hour away, so he was meeting himself coming and going this past week. He stopped by my house for about 30 minutes last night after he finally left work at 8:30pm on his day off.

Had some interesting happenings this past weekend. The son of our friends (STBXH and mine) is getting married in November. I helped host an engagement party for him and his bride at the country club Sat. night. Lots of our friends were there. My cohostesses decided to keep the drama down and not invite STBXH even though all of their spouses came. They didn't trust him not to bring the OW. Honestly, I would not either. I appreciated they did that for me. The father of the groom came up and congratulated me in a very nice and sincere voice. I asked him for what. He said I heard you have a boyfriend and I'm very happy for you. I said I have a friend. He said well, I'm just glad you found someone you like being with. I said well, you know I have been through hell these past three years. He said I know you have and that's why I'm happy for you. This is a man who has been a friend of my stbxh for over 30 years.

Also STBXH's cousin asked his wife if I was dating. She played dumb and told him not that she knew of. He said, so she's not dating. The wife said, not that I know of. The cousin said, well, I didn't think so.

Sounds like STBXH maybe talking...don't know why he would tell everyone. Why he even worry about what I'm doing. I guess he is trying to justify that it is okay for him to have OW, since I have a "bf". Difference is that my "bf" came almost three years after our breakup and did not cause it.

Makes me so glad that I will soon be free of him!
