Hey Bklyn,

I'd go with being led by your heart on this one. What feels best for you?

I know it's probably the old: should I set boundaries that show how things will be if we D so he realises that life is going to be different?

OR

should I keep up positive interaction so that friendship can grow?

I'm still working on the latter option, cause i figure that it's not up to me to try to 'show' him that he won't have the same relationship with me post-D.
I prefer to take AliSuddenly's and happyagain's advice to be loving, patient and friendly. Realise it's easy to fall into denial on this path, but I figure I'm only 13 months in to this (!!!).

I think having to hear these things (your nickname) and having contact over financial matters is harder than setting things up so that you don't.

But we're not in this for 'easy' are we?
