Thanks forward. The problem is that I don't believe that it isn't realistic. But the part about needing to move on is true. And I just think that the timing is right. I'm ready.

Because of kids' school events, saw H several times the other day. Went to dinner as a family. Things were friendly between us, with even some joking around. Not at all awkward or uncomfortable and H was very open, so to me, that's some progress.

The problem is that H is lonely. I feel like he's spending time with us out of loneliness only, and that once he's found someone else, I/we will be dropped once again. I'm not interested in being anyone's back-up plan.

Think I'll send an email this week and get the ball rolling.
