Thank you, LT, I hadn't thought of it that way. Separating my old H from who he is now...that can be easy or difficult, depending on who shows up...
I'm pretty sure he is he//bent on filing, since nothing so far has made him feel better. It's really the only thing left. I'm not wanting to act "as if" , and help create the result, but I don't think anything I'm doing will have an effect on what he does one way or the other right?
What he doesn't realize, and we haven't even talked about since he throws the D word out like a chicken thru text.... Is that we will not have a friendship if we are D. I don't see how I can.
I know some people continue standing after D. Just like the ow thing, I suppose I won't know how I will handle it until and unless I'm there.
