Interesting developments. I don't know if I should take them as heartening or just as what is and accept them for what they were when they happened.

Went to the movie with STBX and the kids. Enjoyed it. We met him at the theatre and I brought the cut rate tickets. We shared a popcorn ( this came with the ticket price with 2 drinks) and I shared a bag of candy I had purchased with him. He spoke barely 20 words to me, and I didn't say anything what was beyond necessary. After the movie he left, said he had work to do.

So, yesterday my computer got nuked. I attempted to get it going on my own and checked out the network and internet connections etc. etc.
This morning I phoned him just to get an idea of possibilities of where I could go for assistance or what I could on my own to get things up and running again. I didn't specifically ask him to help, but he offered to come over. I said it wasn't necessary, but he insisted and said he'd be over shortly.

I quickly showered and dressed, and was ready when he arrived, if not at my best, at least presentable and smelling nice.

He sat here for about an hour and half only to find out that there is nothing wrong with the network, hub, or routers, but that my hard drive is toast. He recovered what data he could and put it on a drive,and told me a new computer was necessary.
I asked if I could give him a hug and he accepted, and stroked my arm in return.

I thanked him and told him I appreciated him taking time out of his day to look, and I would do as he recommended.

I did see something disturbing. He opened his email as I was sitting beside him looking for a specific mail with some information to use, and I saw a mail sent by his Mother titled " Wife left you." Gotta wonder.
