JKSD- thanks for posting...yes he is nice, and we'll see how things unfold :-)
Bttrfly- yes I'm sure you're right. I feel I couldn't see XH and me together again anyway, however the loss is still sad - not all the time but some of the time.
Dawn - thank you. Yes 2+ years is a long time. I always think our steps just need to be in the right direction and ultimately we get there.
Well, the marital home sold on Friday. That was a good day and great to feel the weight of that property lift from my shoulders. For two years I haven't lived there and it has been mostly empty. I'm still getting used to not having to think about it. Great to log on to my current account and see funds from the sale there too. And nice to post a card to the new owners at that address, which is no longer mine. I'm glad to think of someone else being happy in that lovely house. Went out with a friend for drinks Friday evening to celebrate.
I feel pretty much better now. I've had a quieter time and I've been pottering about buying things and generally getting ready to move (in 2 weeks time.) A bit of contact with XH about house stuff and I've asked him to let me know when he wants to close down the joint account...no response from him on that so far. He may be busy moving himself. To be fair, he has been pretty helpful on the house sale - arranging the house clearance, cleaning and contacting the utilities and so on. I haven't had to do that much - though I have offered. It may be some guilt on his part, or he may just feel I'm flaky...
Saw NG last week and we've had a couple of text exchanges since. I arrived at an event, and there was a seat next to him, so I popped myself right in it and we had some nice chats. Makes me realise I am much more confident than when I first met XH - I would have panicked and probably sat somewhere else then - even if I'd wanted to sit there!
Work the next couple of days and salsa class, movie with friends, doggie-sitting and yoga on Wednesday - busy few days coming up - but it will make the move come all the quicker hopefully.
Hope everyone had a good weekend xx
