sounds like a plan. lucky this didnt happen when you were 60. now you have more time to find someone who actually cares about you. has the boyfriend met the kids yet? and dont say theyre isnt one - there is...just remember its going to be hard for him to compete against you. ive been told multiple time and read in multiple places that if she ever really want you back, its when you really move on and are through with her (not just lip service) - the problem (or not is) that when she wants you back, you really have moved on, and will tell her to jump in the lake! hard to believe, but it will happen, especially when you meet the right person. im not a vengeful person, but to see you really happy with someone will kill her.
