Of course I know Elf-one of our favorite holiday movies, although D12 now likes 4 Christmases just as much...
I live in Louisville CO, about 10 miles to the east of Boulder..not too far(Colorado-wise) from Highlands Ranch. Let me know if you're out this way and we'll figure how to meet up. If you are on FB you'll find me there(completely different name-long story)...I'll expand my FB to include being a fan of DBing once H leaves...I didn't want to post anything about separating or divorce this last year since H hadn't told his family about anything.
I understand wanting to leave him with a classic line like in Casablanca..but really I bet he'll block alot of (the leaving)it out of his mind.
Its funny what they do remember with all of the rewriting of history..H remembered last night what we did last New Year's Eve-we actually went out (a first) and ML all night despite the fact that he was moving out in days...it was my weak last ditch effort but H remembers it as a good time had by all.
I agree it may be easier on us in the long run letting them go at this point to spin around and figure things out, but it definitely is painful. I'm trying to stay calm by framing this as not a direct rejection of me, but of his unhappiness with his life(which he can't find the reason for)..
I believe in karma- you'll some random orchid someday or a great deal on the couch you love! Hang in there! I'll keep thinking of classic lines, just for fun.
