Hi again GAG,

I'm sure there is a lot on H's plate with his work/financial situation.

He and I talked tonight and the conversation started dark. He said nothing between us ever changes and that he can never do anything right. He said it's always been the same and that's why our relationship didn't work and nothing has changed and would never change. I stupidly said, "but we usually get along pretty well" and he disputed that, too.

Conversation was going steadily down hill.

I said if I didn't handle the conversation well he should tell me how I could improve. He said it didn't matter because he was moving. When I asked about that he said it had nothing to do with me and was quite cold. At the very bottom of the hill now........

Seeking new conversation I went for the red hot favourite....work and that opened up a whole new topic and he shared quite a lot and as it's an area I know a lot about too so we talked quite a bit about that. Then we talked about the kids and other family stuff. I told him about my operation and what it involved. In that time he started telling me about some of his moving options.

Overall we were talking more than an hour.

So the conversation ended much better than when it started.
