So far no news... I am reaching some level of detachment on all this, though nowhere near where I'd want to be. H is still being very much here, both physically and ... but he still lies to me on occassion. The other day I asked him if he had gotten another insurance policy (he got a letter from Metlife) and he said no. Well today he got a letter from Metlife saying they had approved his policy!
So, I am here and nice and stuff, but not letting myself get too involved. If he comes, fine, if he does not I have other things to do. On Tuesday, he called to say he had a meeting for dinner... and I promptly went out to dinner with a girlfriend. Unluckily I got home before he did, so he did not have time to worry... but I brought the leftover pad thai...
Yesterday we went to a gala night at our daughter's future school. The president of the board invited us. He was rather diffident at first, but we had a good time. And there were lots of people we know.
We watched the Oscars together with another couple. We had always watched the ceremony together since 1989, when we started dating... Last year that night, however we had just separated and I watched the ceremony with the same couple while he went to OK for the weekend with the wh*re for her son's wedding... while telling me he was at a meeting in Houston.
We also went to the Dallas Car Show, one of our annual traditions. Last year, we went together even though we were separated: he actually sneaked behind the wh*re's back and told her he was at work; he asked me to go under the pretext that he wanted me to help him find a car. I remember thinking I could not care less about his car or lack thereof... Time flies and things change.
He is making plans for our D's birthday party next month... and for a week or two in Europe in the winter...
Sorry, I am rambling... Better stop and go back to work.
