Hi Bea, I just read back to the start of this thread. Yes, it's an interesting dynamic from your H. He seems to put out these little feelers of - what would it be like if we were in touch more, if we spoke, had more links again - and so on.

I think you do very well to receive, respond, reflect, move on, don't look back. Because, if you were still 'attached' it might be a bit of a rollercoaster again. I don't agree that your life is a soap opera. I think your calm approach deflects any hints of soap opera plot entirely, and I feel hopeful that I may get to that place at some point too.

I enjoyed reading about how you have released the anger too. You do sound content and at peace. More so than your H if I may say. It looks almost as though he would like you to become OW to his present M (ugh..) which suggests he may still not be altogether happy. Shame that he hasn't managed to reconnect with the kids either.

Interesting that he popped out of the burrow for a good old look, and then he popped back in again for a good old while. I wonder if the more of a look he has, the more he needs to pop back in for a while.

Anyway, I guess all of this is a moot point as you are clearly happy with your life as it is - which I truly applaud, for it has been hard won like many posters on these boards, and I raise a glass of prosecco to you (well, a mug of tea actually but a minor detail between DB friends!)
