Hi Jacket, I just wanted to say hello. Sorry your situation seems bleak. I'm glad that you are not sending out that email, and it sounds like your H is being a dummy about it still.
You are doing really great! Keep your chin up and keep on enjoying life. I don't know why but something about the way you write really reminds me of a friend of mine. When I read your thread I see her face. She went through separation and divorce a few years back. Her H was really checked out. She started GAL and held her head high. Eventually I think he attempted to reconcile but she was over it. Anyway, she is getting married in a few weeks to a guy who is perfect for her. Her exH is still a big unhappy loser. She is much better off without him.
I hope that you keep on feeling good about life and embrace your new adventures. Who knows what the future holds. Let your H enjoy the party where everyone will be asking uncomfortable questions while you enjoy eating some brie and baguettes in the park with your friend and her french guest!
