Surviving the Big D STINKS!

[ClingingToHope]

I really hope he comes through for you. Just be prepared for him to bail. He may chicken out at the thought of actually having to restart the R rather than just doing the "friends with benefits" thing.

It was almost a year ago STBXW and I had our one good talk -- hashed out a lot -- and I said "what's next" and she said we should talk like this once a week.

Well, the first week came and no call. I asked her about it. She said she was really busy at work. The second week came and no call. The third, same thing.

Finally, In October she calls, but to talk about how to handle switching the kid on holidays. It was an awful call. I asked at one point about the weekly phone calls and she said she said that "just to get me off the phone."

I put a lot of hope into those calls and then they didn't happen.
