Thanks, Rick! Up until recently I actually was ready to take full responsibility for letting things get to this point. I started to see my short-comings and never denied a thing. I was almost ready to see why H would be hurt, etc. But after learning about OW, I no longer feel the same. I still admit that things could have been done much differently, but in no way was it all "my fault". I know now that H is trying to validate his actions through accusations. He is living a lie, claims to be the "victim", and does not want to take responsibility. It used to hurt me when he accused me, but it no longer does. I no longer believe anything he says. I think the hard part for me will be to remind myself to bite my tongue and listen and validate his feelings.
So while H does not take the time to talk to S4 or me, he did send a text saying that his connecting flight is delayed.
An interesting observation: I just started reading my horoscope again. It's bizarre how the daily horoscope was completely applicable to me. Here's what today says:
"The connection you've got cookin' with someone else is getting more complicated right now, and today you might want to step back and look at things from an outsider's perspective. Don't get nervous that the potential you see isn't really there. It is. But you have to be ready to accept that this person has a few opportunistic tendencies and other negative qualities that could become an issue later. No one is perfect, including them -- and you need to realize that."
Hmmm, since I don't think I'm "cooking" connections with anyone right now, I think the above might apply to H. I know I shouldn't think too much of this stuff, but it's weird how true this stuff was in my sitch, especially for the past week.
