still separated, in limbo, still hopeful

Hey! Yeah, I don't think you ever said foolish. Maybe just that you wish you hadn't hoped so much for it. (And I'm not just going off of yesterday's post, but a couple of posts you've made since I've known you!) No worries about that, it just sounded like you had given up on your sitch entirely!

I guess you know it "didn't work" because he kept talking D, huh? I see. But everyone says that if an OW is in the picture, not much works! So maybe that strategy would work at a different time.

Oh, no 3 years? I love your response "hell no!" That's what I think, too, about that long. One of those "Aw, hellllll naw!" (Of course, 3 years out, I could change my mind; never say never!)

I think dating is a really good idea. I don't even think it's bad to date somebody just for the fun of it without real interest in 'forever.' Gotta be clear with them about that, though, of course. But it would just be for you and getting your feet wet again, all that stuff.

Your SIL remarried her ex-H? Wow! Yup, I still believe things could change even after D. You ever seen "It's Complicated" with Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin? Might be fun to catch.

Well, I learned that three of my classes were cancelled today, so I had extra time to get on here! But now I actually have to get back to work.
