Back to Square One?

[Wendylon]

Thank you very much, Tori and Tumbling. I will go to that party with H. You've convinced me!

I'm even keener to go to that party on 24 Nov as he's just announced that he's having dinner out tomorrow night with someone from that crowd. I'm a bit suspicious that it might be with POW instead (and not someone from his university days), so all the more reason to go to the party and ask to be introduced to the person he (supposedly) will have had dinner with. Actually, maybe I'd just be setting him up to feel cornered. That may not be a good thing. I'll wait for advice from you guys!

H has been back over 15 hours and so far so good in terms of me not pursuing. I've thanked him for going to see my father and step-mother, and said that although he hadn't gone for me I really appreciated it. What I meant is that I know he went because he is fond of them and of adventure. He also feels important because he has the latest news on my father's deteriorating state of mind (Alzheimer's) and my brother and sister both want to talk to him about it. At least, it keeps him in the family loop.

I got one good bit of feedback from my sister-in-law. She spoke to H when he was at my father's and she asked H how I was doing. She wrote to me to say that he told her that I was happy and doing very well. It must somehow have to do with my acting more detached.

As I predicted, H is in a complete muddle about which of our children are off school and which are back. He managed to assume the wrong way around for two of them. I was glad that I'd anticipated his muddle because I was able to contain my irritation.

I'm so grateful for this board and DB principles.
