FS, I've thought about the scenario before! I used to live in fear but really thought I would react differently, I always pictured myself striving for calm acceptance. But in my imagination, I always pictured being handed papers from H or even being served.

It was the shock of the lonely registered mail slip that did it for me. Echoed the trauma of coming home last summer and H having moved out without me knowing. It was another slap of rejection that I thought was behind my back. I'm pretty sure I could handle the situation head on, but this sneaking around bs is still reeeallllyy difficult for me to process.

But I leaped before I knew all the facts and who knows how things could have been different. I've even imagined today that my accusing him brought up bad feelings and prompted him to reach out to ow for comfort. (that's way behind mindreading, that's a fairy tale!)

So I will be extra cautious to try to avoid jumping to conclusions from now on. And my reminder will be... all that worry was about an ebay purchase. D*mn!
