Thanks for posting Jim and Pink - good to hear from you..
Jim, I quite like your idea on finance. I'll give that some thought. It would be a way of giving things a little prod - and I could see what happens. H can be quite avoidant, so he may well have his head stuck in the sand. I can either ignore that and carry on my own path - or press further. I just need to think about which I want to do.
Pink - thanks for your thoughts too. Our sitches are different, and I think the crucial thing is kids. I can be less cautious as there is only me to take into account. And if I get this job, I will be able to sustain renting in the longer term. Although the situation isn't very fair, it is possible, and if it helps to save our M, then that's what I may do.
As for prompting some contact? IDK. I certainly don't want contact to discuss our situation. But it could be possible for me to be 'in the city' for some reason and ask if he wanted to meet for a drink. TBH, I feel a bit scared. It has been so long. I know it might be helpful for him to see me. But how would I handle it? And I worry about what I might find out... I guess I would feel happier with us chatting by phone as a pre-cursor - but that seems harder to engineer, given our current sitch...
Dad has invited me to lunch today, and I'm off to aqua aerobics tonight. Then puss tomorrow. Have a good Sunday all xx
