First, thanks to everyone who's been helping out and commenting on my sitch thus far. It's greatly appreciated.

I don't have TOO much to update as of right now... just my normal, run of the mill type stuff...

W texted me yesterday telling me she hoped I was safe and dry with the "kids" while the hurricane went overhead. As seemingly impossible as it was, I did not respond to that text (as it had no questions)...

I DO feel I'm being a bit rude by not responding to the last two texts she's sent, but again, neither had questions or a pressing need to respond... They were both simply well-wishing texts... Which I very much wanted to respond to, but decided against it for... not even sure the actual reason.

A good mutual friend (of W and I) also reached out to me this weekend with a very sweet email about how saddened she is over the sitch. She said that W emailed her months ago about our Separation, and it took her this long to respond because she was literally so shocked and didn't want to reach out to W in a judgmental way, so had to cool down before reaching out. She said she'd be praying for me and for us, told me that she was so shocked because she and everyone we knew constantly remarked on how much love I poured into the relationship and what a "Great Guy" I am, and they're just stupefied that it got to this.

It was nice to hear from her, and I always appreciate the ego-strokes, but I hesitate to respond with too much information. I know that she's "on my side" but I also know she cares deeply for W, so I'm planning on thanking her for the email and prayers, filling her in on the non-relationship aspects of my life and leaving it at that... no matter how badly I want to pour my heart out to her about my sitch (as I KNOW she'd be an amazing listener and give strong advice)...
