Shining, thanks, your words made me to tear up. You are right, I don’t know where I’m going to be in 3 years. I already have a pretty good life, and hope that it will only change for even better. I feel that H already finds himself attracted to my life, he just cannot admit it even to himself. I don’t know if I would want for him to come back. I guess I will know when and if I know.

Job, thank you. I try to remind myself that I’m the prize. This time, he will have to work a lot harder to win it though. I think he knows that and it might be a huge obstacle for him. But, you know what, if he really wants it badly, he will do the work. Until then, I will continue to laugh and smile and enjoy my time with my friends. I think you are right about him feeling more comfortable with me and my friends and family members. I think he tested the waters with my BIL (my sister’s H), with my son and his GF, and now with my friends, and he saw that nobody is rejecting him because of what he did.

Small update. Found out that H is now friends with my son on FB. I was curious about that, whether he would even invite or accept my son (don’t know who sent an invite, H or my son.) At least on my son’s part, he is open for communication. It’s my boy! BTW, I’m not friends with my son on FB. This might be the reason H invited/accepted him.

Received a text today (15th of the month) from H about the money transfer. Instead of just regular “Transferred $XXXX to your account”, it started with “Hi Bright, I hope you had a good time over the weekend”. Ha! I replied that I had a great time and thanked him for the money.
