Hi Kalni, FIB, and Abbey - thanks for your comments. Yes, I do still hold a lot of resentment over the way things have gone for us. Most of the time I hold all of it in and let it out when I get really upset about something. Not an effective way to communicate! This is one of the reasons why I think Retro would be good for us since we both have a very difficult time communicating. I haven't heard a response from H in regards to Retro which is being held at the end of April. I didn't expect us to discuss anything because H was extremely busy up until last Thurs. He's away since yesterday until later tonight for a hockey tournament. If he doesn't bring it up, I will do so.
I've been keeping busy with work, working out, activities for S13, helping out my mom. Friday night S13 and I were invited at the last minute by H's brother and his partner to a sporting event which was a lot of fun. Interesting how they both actually prefer to spend time with me and not H ("SIL" has actually voiced this to me). I've also decided to join a tennis club and enrolled S and myself but also asked H if he wanted to sign up as it would be the same cost for all 3 of us. H said he'd join. Maybe this is something we can start doing together. Regardless I'll be playing and S13 is also excited about taking lessons.
