Well I have the answer to yesterday's cliff-hanger.............XH did not show up at his mother's while I was there. Brought my cat to visit her and some gifts. I gave X-MIL two framed photos: one of her precious grandkitty and one of her and XH, taken at Thanksgiving several years ago. I also left several 4 x 6 photos on her kitchen table. One of the photos was of X-MIL, XH, and me, taken the first time I met X-MIL. That should give XH (and GF#2) something to think about (my bad ) .
...........oh, and I forgot to mention something about my convo with XH yesterday..........when I told him that I was on my way to a lunch date, XH asked "Who are you having lunch with?" That was pretty interesting because XH hasn't shown this type of curiosity before,....ever. I see this as a sign that XH has become more curious about me, probably because of the flirting. Thinking it's time to set up some TT dates with other folks to give XH something to think about.
