That is a good book. I'm glad she likes it. I'm looking into a good magazine for you. I also would like to reroute the Vanity Fairs to you or get your own subscription. I hope your students are doing well. I think about [school name] often.
So it is stating, like you said.
I feel some urgency, not because of a deadline at all. But because-- and you felt this before, I think-- but I guess I want to protect him from what he's doing! Oh, that's awful. But I feel like he'll regret in the future, but if he was slightly more involved (like in the name), he wouldn't be as regretful. And he follows me so gddm much, I wonder if he's waiting for my lead to sort of "invite" him to participate.
So maybe that means I think I'll feel regret if I don't broach the subject and help him out.
It could totally backfire, of course. He could write back "whatever name you choose is fine" and not mention anything about seeing her.
So yes, I was thinking about just sending a name email. I would present the name to him and ask for his input in spelling variations. I don't know if he'll be upset that she's taking my maiden name. He may have heard through his family, but he may not have. I don't even want to ask what he thinks, for fear of him saying "I think that's wise, since we'll be divorced soon" or something like that. So I'd just say it so that I know he knows before the birth. I just feel like I need to tell him the name!
So. I guess I'm answering my own question. Maybe starting with just a 'name' email in about 1-2 weeks.
