Bea, Job, Gwen, thanks for your posts. I actually feel that I don’t want discuss H with my friends any more. I will see if this a real feeling this weekend. I’m going to the vacation home, probably for last time this year. I feel sad. But at the same time I think that staying away from there and from my friends will help me to detach even more.

Bea, I agree, it will ultimately be me who will decide whether I will continue this friendship or not.

Job, the laptop was a pleasant surprise. I didn’t expect to win again this time.

Gwen, my H is also working in another state. And I do feel lucky too, that I don’t have to worry about bumping into him at a store or learn about him hanging out with people I know. I pretty much claimed all the friends and accountancies here. I actually became closer with some of them.

So, more GAL coming… Today I was invited to join a group of people at work who gather once a month for a happy hour on a back patio after work. I'm on the invite list. Yay me!
