Mona, So, now you know that the ow is in the picture...don't tip your hand on what you know. See, he was crying poor me about not getting the children gifts and yet...he was purchasing them for the ow. You've been given a view into what he's doing, so stop feeling sorry for him. He's a chump and chumps lie like sin. I wouldn't believe a thing he says and you need to realize that if his lips are moving, he's lying. You can "make/force" him to tell you the truth nor what he's doing w/his life. You can't control him, but you can control what you say and do. From this day forward, do not tell him anything that you know as to what he's doing, etc.
As for your male friend having a girl friend, well, it's his loss. Now about learning or re-learning things, get some books or do some research on line to know what's going happening in today's society that might fit the bill of what you need to know.
As for contacting him...DON'T. If you get angry, come here. If you are having a pity pot party, come here...but do not text or call him just to let off steam.
Everything will fall into place for you if you don't rush the process. Take each day as it comes and enjoy it. Tomorrow is another day and it will come soon enough...
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
