One month down, zero casualties

Linda - wow. You were such a horrible person and he was such a saint, eh? Sounds like a well-practiced line. Wonder if he heard it on this forum somewhere? Kind of pathetic if you ask me. Especially the kind of person that would respond to that thinking it's going to be a healthy thing. Sorry to have heard he treated you that way.

Raine, that's just it. It's hard to put my finger on it, but it really struck me as odd that he would go away and give any thought at all to you. He certainly is not treating you the way you would like to, or deserve to be treated. Don't get me wrong. And of course, it may totally mean nothing.

But while there are many odd things that MLCrs do, befriending their spouses parents isn't "common" (it happens; I've seen it but it's not common per se. At least not in my view) Giving ANY thought to their spouse while on a trip, let alone getting them a gift? That's just "different" at this point. You don't buy gifts for a person you're divorcing. You don't buy gifts for somebody you don't like or care for. You don't buy gifts for somebody you're done with. You just don't spend the time thinking about it.

I honestly can't figure that one, Raine. Seems really out of place to me. Could be nothing to be sure.

Peace,
AJ
