Thats kind of my point really. As I have said to Smothy a number of times. Early on I read something that sticks in my mind as what I should be aiming for. We want to be in a position where we can think of our S, be talking to a friend etc and honestly report

"I am open to reconciliation, I am not waiting".

How this fits in to hope is another issue to resolve. Dont get me wrong, I struggle everyday with this and the M breakdown and all. Sometimes all day. In the first few months absolutely all day. Personally I think that ..... hang on, i'll rip what I said to Smothy

When the dust settles, walk out into the sunshine wit your arms open wide, ready to embrace the new world and the new you. Your H will be around. You may be attracted to each other again. You may not. He may like you, but you are not interested. who knows - it is the future remember. You can control you, now, and that is it.


oh - your English is great BTW. Infinitely better than my Swedish smile
