Hi Complicated! How are you holding up these days? This journey is hard and long isn't it? Are you still feeling "un-detached"?

How nice that you and H's family get along so well, and that you still see his parents every Friday. How funny that he asked his mom what you wanted 3 weeks ago, and then called while you were there 2 weeks ago! Any contact from him last Friday? Sounds like maybe he is trying to find out what's going on with you without coming out and asking?

I am SO glad to hear your MIL would not ever accept OW! I didn't ask my H's mom if she would accept OW as her new daughter in law, but I did tell her that H told me that one of the reasons he had for not leaving me is that he does not want to lose her and the rest of his family. She said he is confused ( smile ) and that he WANTS someone to boss him around. I dunno. He says that aggression and bossiness is what he likes about the Tramp, but that the only way we have stayed together for 38 years is my easy going temperament. I think my MIL may be wrong. Does your MIL give you any advice?
