Portia, it looks like you verbalized the thoughts that have been in my head exactly. We have such a similar circumstances. I too wonder how we can be friends, when H doesn’t treat me like one. I also cannot understand why I’m not done yet.

I wish you a very happy and different year 2014. I’m looking forward to it myself.
