Yes I am relieved MIL and FIL have gone. MIL told me to move on and they were distinctly uncomfortable on H's birthday.
Last night MIL started to tell me something about ow and I changed the subject. I don't want to hear about her story. I don't care. You're right H puts them in a difficult position but they'll never tell him that.
Cas, is it possible that MIL and FIL really amplified your mixed feelings about H? That must have been very difficult. I've gotten to the point where I can't really talk to most of my friends about standing for my XH. That's why I really appreciate this board. Yesterday my sister tried to tell me that I should go to a cigar bar to meet men. I told her that when she started taking her own advice (she's been D for 17 years and hasn't dated) I might take her advice. I know that even if I give up on XH, I am not healed enough to get into another R right now.
