Hope things are settling down for you a bit. I know all about the obsessive reading on this board and other threads. Wish I would have read it all way before it came to all of this.
No, there is no one I can really ask. We live in two separate cities and I have never lived in his, so all of the friends that are there are more his than mine. And I do not want to involve family.
I think you are right when you say that life will not be problem free. He actually said this himself when he said after only a few months that things were "plateauing" between them. Then a couple of months after that he said that they threw in the towel. Of course, the last time we spoke he was sniffing around her again so I really do not know where they are at. For all I know there could be someone new.
Such is life.
I have started a new thread since this one is getting long, so I hope to see you there. And of course, I will pop by and visit you as well. Have a good Friday!!
