Thanks girls, and yes Busting, still at peace, although I have moments when I think about what he thinks about MG, and feel sad, and a little panicky (not quite the right word), but they pass as I let them be and not dwell.
BF, thank you for your comments and this is what I try to do with H. We are very good friends if you strip away everything, so I don't think he is willing to lose that. Maybe he thought he was, but who knows, I guess?
Mysterious doesn't work, simply because I have always held all my cards closely. One of the complaints of H was I never let anyone in. So while I don't volunteer, if he asks I tell. We actually had a discussion similar to this on Wednesday, when he complained that he had to drag info out. I demurred and said just ask me the question right out and i will be happy to give the answer. (It was in relation to my SE2 etc, I think).
Just recently, I made a comment about our upcoming vacation and making out on the beach (by text). He texted "You have a lot of assumptions ;)'
I replied that actually I didn't assume anything anymore.
This seemed to strike a chord with him and he said "I believe you and trust that statement, thank you"
So, I haven't been first to contact him in a long while, except I will today with son's arrival in city.
