Dawn, thanks for the hug and the vote of confidence.
RD, I was so touched by your post - thank you. I wouldn't say I'm going as far as thinking of going out on a date. More that if I were to be asked, I might consider a friendly drink?
Thanks for saying I'm compassionate, intelligence and witty - that's very kind.
Yes, I understand about the piece of paper. And it will help the finances for sure. Whether H feels the loss....who knows? But you are right - I am who I am and nothing takes away from that, and there is plenty of joy to be found in life....even after the loss.
Lately, I have been thinking about the length of H's R with both me and his XW. They were around 10 years long, and he joked once soon before BD that his R's always last 10 years. I do think he is in MLC with all the other signs - weight loss, void, much younger woman, can't grow old without chance to be a Dad again. But I also think there's a general emotional immaturity - where he struggles to make the transition from a 'young' R to a mature one - and goes in search of the 'in love' feelings again. Just a thought for today anyway.
RD, I hope you had a lovely trip and I'm looking forward to an update xxx
