h3,

You are on track. At the lunch, be your best self. You can reveal that although you accept his regrettable choice, you "Get it"...he feels the need to be single. Okay. He's single. So are you. It was nice while it lasted and maybe he really will be happier someday. Great, good to learn that now. All you know is you will be happier. Why? b/c you have to be. B/C you had NO Choice. HE DID. He gets to have all the 2nd thoughts and all the self doubt. You won't. You coped with the cards you were dealt, and he's stuck with the fact that he dealt them.

Enjoy the meal, try to have a laugh or two and be the one to leave first.

If there comes a time when your h wants more of you, he'll know how to reach you. Let him. Until if and when that happens, keep on doing what you're doing. WHich is moving on. GAL, etc. Let him be the one to ponder later, by himself. When you talk about your future, make it a good one. It will be. WIth or without him...that's not for you to worry about, but it is for him. Make sense?

And Try not to let too much ride on this meal. It's not goodbye, it's a meal before you move onto a new chapter. Not the last chapter, just the next one...enjoy it. Let him see you in the best light, which is a happy one.Stay calm.

good luck!
