Portia, what a coincidence, I’ve been thinking (needing) a new car too. I also told H that it was in the works. But, I have to postpone it now, since I’m still not working.
I’ve been reading your updates. I agree with you and others here that something is going on in SO’s life that made him to start contacting you. I don’t really know what else to say, since I’ve been in similar situation before. Sometimes H starts contacting me more often and even forwards the jokes. Then he goes back into the hole. I have no idea what causes these moments of interest and then withdrawal. So, I just take it as an event in life and keep moving.
Hang in there, my friend.
