I can see your point. In French, it's called "Suis-moi, je te fuis, fuis-moi je te suis" (follow me, I'll run away, run from me, I'll follow).It's just difficult to become mysterious and interesting, I never saw myself as either, you can read me like a book. I'd never have been able to lead a double life and have an affair like H did - at least I think not. So be gone when he comes round? Give little information about self? I'm trying hard to help foster a friendly atmosphere, the kids are living with me, so I'm a bit of a sitting duck. I don't tel or text unless child-related emergency, but it feels like I'm making the single life dead easy for H. He can paint the town red every night with OW plural even, while mum holds fort. It's hard to be mysterious after a lifetime of being open - too open. Still, when you give that advice to hurtinhartford, and from what Doodi says, it seems strategically on the nail. It would be simpler if there were just the two of us. My kids are confused enough (sudden running away) without my playing mind-games all over the shop. they've always seen me completely open with H. NotCrackingUp - except on Saturday night.
