Jim, that sounds like a bit of a rough week. I'm sorry to hear that my friend.....

It's a little odd that your W would tell you she's in hospital, receive texts of concern from you and just not reply. I can see it must feel disheartening. But I would stay steady in your course and see it as the natural ebb and flow within your sitch. There will come a time when your W will respond more warmly again I'm sure.

Sounds like she has had a pretty rough time of it, so I hope she feels better soon. When you see her, I would ignore the fact she never responded and just say you were sorry to hear she wasn't well and hope all is better now.

We all have these downer phases. Everything sounds rosy with OM, she's being cool with you and so on. But we all know that these sitches can turn in a moment.....but it's long haul stuff. The whole 'it's a marathon' thing can sound a bit trite when you consider the reality of slogging through as you are doing. I admire you Jim - and someone out there is going to be very lucky to share your life in future. I hope that is your W....but there is a good life ahead for you I'm sure.

Sorry you are dealing with some HR stuff (I work in HR!!!) Hope things go as smoothly as they can for you. And I hope you have a lovely weekend too - sunshine and little ones - a lovely mix....picnic in the park anyone??

xx
