H's MLC - he is still lost but I found myself

[Mila]

Thank you CW, Eric, Golfgirl & GAG, thank you for your encouragement and nice words.

Yesterday we had my FIL's wedding anniversary celebration. It was at a restaurant with all H's family members attending. H emailed me if we can go in one car....I said OK, that I'll pick him up.

It was funny, we picked him up and he wanted to sit in the front where D was and she told him no, that’s my place now. So he had to sit in the back. It was her way to show him that he lost his "status"...maybe a little bit of punishment I guess...lol. He did protest, but did not insist.

The anniversary dinner was OK, little awkward as D pointed out after...but courteous and civilized between H and I. He was all smiles at me, like we were still a couple....some of the people at the dinner don’t even know that we are separated and he played along...even called me sweetie...it was weird....I mainly ignored him...On the way back he sat in the back again and was very quiet while D & I were chatting away....well mainly D.

This morning I received the following email: BTW it is Thanksgiving up here this weekend so don't get confused....

"Mila, we didn’t talk last night very much, but it was nice to see you; you looked great. It is a very difficult time for you, for us... Please accept my wish to you of Happy Thanksgiving... I don’t know how to write this... It sounds cold and impersonal... it’s not intended to be... With love... H."

I replied

"Thank you for the nice email, Happy Thanksgiving to you too"

I wonder if he is feeling lonely...we are having a big family/friends dinner tonight....and he is all alone in his apartment.....well I guess he can Skype with OW
