You sound like an awesome cook. And belly dancing? Heck yeah! And kudos on the technology. I'm tackling stuff like that too. (So 12 bps is good enough for that kind of thing?)
Why does your WH ask you so many questions all the time? Does he miss you? Is he feeling guilty? Is he feeling awkward and trying to fill the space? I don't expect you to know the answer to this, of course, but he does seem to. . . keep asking questions.
I remember that I emailed WH once to tell him that the way he was treating me (like crap) was great because it made me hate him. Which made the whole thing easier.
I almost wonder (of course I have no idea) if these WHs keep engaging us because they really want our. . . I don't want to say approval but. . . our kind thoughts. Maybe that's the same as trying to alleviate guilt.
Anyway, sounds like you're doing a great balancing act.
