Just checking in! My D isn't final yet, but I believe it is etched in stone! We couldn't mediate an agreement, so it looks like it goes to trial on Jan 26th. When she realizes she won't be able to retire a millionaire, maybe, just maybe it will finally wake her up, but I'm not counting on it!
I'm glad you called your H, and to see you are still "hoping" I'm just about ready to give up all hope, but don't you dare! Your H was waiting for an invitation. If you would have stayed "dark" He would think you didn't love him????? (Isn't that what we're supposed to make them think???) Sometimes I don't get it!
Now let's hope he doesn't chicken out. Maybe have the kids call him and tell him they're glad you will all get to spend Christmas together! It is going to be VERY tough on you and weird!!! But you KNOW what to do! Treat him as you would any other guest, well maybe a special guest! Look your best, smile, and I know you will prepare on heck of a dinner, can I come??? You might want to ask him to bring something. Desert? Favorite wine? Cuban bread?
I wouldn't start hounding him now, because you're happy he's coming. Maybe a call to bring something, NO R talk! And one more time, just to "firm up" the schedule! I hope it turns out to be a great time for everyone! And don't go overboard with a gift! Pistachios??????
