After 18 months - H is finally filing.

Update -

On Wednesday I sent H a text message mid-morning asking how he was holding up. He replied that the new owners were making the public announcements about his bosses' departure.

At 10pm I sent another text asking how he was doing and if there were any updates on his job sitch. He replied very shortly that he had gone for dinner with the new CEO, had a very candid conversation and that he still has a job for now.

I replied re-assuringly and asked what he thought of the new guy. No answer, so after an hour or so I just wished him a good night.

This morning I tried to call him before he would go to work, but he did not pick up. (I have not initiated contact with him - except for kids' stuff - in such a long time, but I thought this was a truly big thing he was going thru and he admitted to being so freaked out, that I thought reaching out to him would be a form of validation in this case.)

I thought it was weird that when this crisis hit he was open, friendly and sharing with me and then went MIA 24 hrs. later. Yes, I realize that I wondered because I had set expectations based on one really good interaction and that I should have known better.

So finally the shoe dropped around mid-day today. H sent another one of his business-like emails asking if I have retained my lawyer and if I would talk to her when I get back from my vacation with the kids. He wants to know if his L should send D paperwork to her or to me. He copied his L on it as well.

Now that the job scare is over, he is back to work with the D. He couldn't even wait until I got back from my vacation with the kids to email me about it. Nice...
