Moving Ahead - In the UK - Huddy (pt16)

[Huddy]

Helped my W take the 'family' TV to her temporary accomodation today. SD, S & D came to my flat for tea whilst I went with W to help her. It's a six year old 50 inch thing and it weighs a ton! I helped her set it up. We had to go to the supermarket to get a new remote control. All very pleasant. W looked gorgeous but she admitted her new location was 'rough' and her flat 'poor' (as in quality).

W has been offered some stees (couches) and she asked if she could store them at my flat. She said something odd - 'you know, just for now, anything could happen'. A bizarre statement.

I look at her though and think there is no way she's coming back. She has been talking to the housing authority today and they have told her she could be in her 'temporary' home for two years. She doesn't seem to be missing me or pining me. I'm not sitting there wringing my hands, so I wonder if I should start thinking, again, about moving on.

W doesn't know about my trip to Hong Kong and I'm not planning on telling her. My friends at work keep telling me not to take her back and that by helping her move stuff to her flat/store it for her, that I'm being used. I don't feel I'm being used, but I'm too close. Maybe I'm not viewing it objectively. We've been chatting quite happily tonight; there felt like some warmth, but this may just have been to get me to help her. Perhaps I should wait a little longer....
