Water, I think you had a GREAT conversation with H. You handled it well, you were honest, careful not to be defensive or put him on the defensive. He must be still struggling deep inside (MLC?? )...they supposedly don't come out of that and stay out completely for a while. Who knows...? You just keep youself moving in a forward direction. Maybe you should keep you options open for your long-term future. Not date, necessarily, but enjoy the company of a male friend once in a while. Just a thought. I know you want your H only, I do too....but maybe they need to be reminded that others are attracted to us and who knows what the future holds.

I holding good thoughts for you and keeping you in my prayers.

Take care, Mooka
