It is easier for me now that I am in a different state than exH and OW. I no longer need to worry about running into them as a couple. However, I was feeling a bit blue with Christmas cards until some good friends that I thought were "writing me off" did send me a Christmas message. No matter if friends say they aren't going to take sides the relationships still change. Hope 2010 is a good year for you, Yoyo!
