Phoenix slowly rising

Thanks for your reply, Ggrass. Ya, he's probably hoping to keep it all quiet till no one cares - seems he's got his family all on board not to discuss 'us' with me. My IL's do have contact with me on occasion, but are very cautious about saying anything.

So I'm not so sure the 'train' will be by anytime soon. He's in Spain for a month, our divorce will be final the end of August, and he barely communicates with me as it is. I have been 'dark' for a while, although when he left for his trip last Friday, in a moment of weakness, I did text him, "have a wonderful trip.' We used to have such fun traveling together. He texted back, 'Thank you.' Prior to that, he called me two weeks ago, I didn't answer, didn't hear the phone and he left a message, "just called to say Hi. I'll call you later'. I guess later means, what, a day, a week, a month, a year, 10 years? Just had to tell myself, no expectations - and I really didn't expect him to call back. And he hasn't so far.

Someone called it a 'touch and go' call to see if you are still holding on to the rope. I guess I let him know the answer to that by texting him last week. Geez, when will I ever learn.
