Thank you all for the birthday wishes. It really has been nice to hear from so many people today. My phone, FB, email... the good wishes keep coming.
It is one benefit, I guess, to all of this. H's pulling away forced me to reach out and end my long stay-at-home-mom-induced issolation. It is one change in myself that is non-negotiable in any future relationship, whether it is (hopefully) with H, or maybe even someone else some day.
