Michelle, it is good that he is paying a larger share of the costs and *so* good that Maple will be taken care of. It is also good that we are friends too Poet, it took a lot of hard work to get there and I am proud of that. In fact I was packing some stuff away and I found a list of goals that I had made to see recognise when H would finally not be pulling away from me and I actually reached most of them.
Kat, you are right that it was a positive meeting. I lost sight of that. I had no expectation that he would voice that he wanted to stay married, in fact it hadn't crossed my mind but somewhere during our conversation I think I hoped he would which is why I was upset.
MsM, I'm so sorry about your cat Great news about the poetry and I hope things go well with your old friend.
Saturday I went to a great party with Lisa, it was 40's glamour. So we got our hair and makeup done, it was a very girly afternoon and then we went out with a group of us in the evening for a meal. It was a great antidote to h stress and it was so nice to feel so glamorous. I have learnt some great make up tips! Nothing like a bit of pampering to help me when I feel down eh.
Great news about the poetry and I hope things go well with your old friend.
