Hi Lisa

Interested to read your last post. And good that you have made a decision on the financials - at least for now. Things do shift a bit when we 'see' our S's differently. We may spend time convincing ourselves that our S is awful etc. Then we see them and there's the guy we fell in love with and married.

I guess it may just be about finding a way forward for yourself that best protects you. Your H may feel he'd like to be good friends whilst dating others for example. I know my H would have loved us to remain good friends whilst he had an A - and that was a boundary I had to enforce. But for you, it may be possible to remain 'attached' financially, and liaise on that, but not be good friends. The good news is it's within your gift to set the tone of future interactions. If having dinner is a bit too much, you can meet for coffee etc, or just do financial things by email.

Interesting about the NMMNG...I'm about to order that one myself!
