Hi Forward

Sorry for the delay in responding. I don't check in much these days, especially with the Christmas holidays and all.

It's funny how my feelings for XH have changed. I have come to some major decisions in the past few months: I don't want him back and I don't want to be his friend.

I wish him well. I told him about 2 months ago that I didn't see a future for us. His calls have all but stopped. He called last week but hung up after one ring.

I think his girlfriend is still in the picture (what a surprise!), but their R is one of cheating on each other and being miserable - especially during the holidays. It's some kind of sick co-dependency, but I don't want to be drug into any part of it.

I've been sick this year with Lyme disease that really did a number on me, but I'm almost well and one of my New Years' Resolutions is to start getting out again and meet new people. It feels really good to know that XH no longer has any hold on me.

I like your by-line "Making my own ending". I'm making mine too.
