Thank you LiM and Bluwave, Just got home - will ponder all you both said. I know for sure if there is a 'date' person it certainly wasn't happening before he left because he was either always at work or here... There are some other ideas I have on that but will get into that at another time. Thank you both for taking time to really think about my situation and respond to my posts. I am going to read what you wrote a few more times and think about it all. I do think it's more of the MLC situation due to everything that's been happening since last summer. The other thing is, if we're not supposed to 'believe anything they say and 50percent of what they do' then that's how I was feeling today. I don't think he's in his right mind. But irrelevant of that, I have to work on my own stuff, as LiM says - my fire! And I do have a lot of fire once I'm not crying/sad/depressed! more later thank you so much
