As far as I know, he hasnt done too much work on himself.
Ain't that the truth!
As I posted on my thread, my xh went by our old house [why???] and took some photos of the work the new owners have done on the garden. And offered to send them to me . . . [i live several hundred miles away these days]
I loved that garden, worked hard on it, and it was my pride and joy. Xh never very interested . ... It would be so painful to see them.
They do not win prizes for empathy and sensitivity. And I actually think he was trying to be nice in a clumsy way. I did thank him nicely, but did say it would be painful.
