Just got back from XH's house. I was there ~2 1/2 hours. It was my first time inside. It is smaller than it looks from the outside but cozy. Only saw the first level since XH and BMF were upstairs the whole time. It looks about 1/2 to 2/3 the size of our previous (my current) house. Makes me wonder if that's why it is difficult for XH to come to my house? When I told X-SIL that it was the first time I'd been in her brother's house she said "I know. It's about time." Makes me wonder if she is trying to engineer a reconciliation? We talked girl talk......talked about R's, about her and her H (sounds like they're happy). I'm very glad to hear that they are happy. XH always likes to put a negative spin on his sister's M. At one point I told X-SIL in a very matter-of-fact way "I love your brother...........and I really loved the man I was with." Bad DB'ing, I know. I didn't say it in a starry-eyed way like a lovestruck schoolgirl. I said it like someone who is stating fact and knows that the person they love may never be capable of returning their love.
I am SO glad the day is over!!!!!!! I was pretty stressed out going into this day, but I really think that things turned out better than I could have possibly hoped.
