Hi mleigh, that's an interesting story about your old friend. Yes I can imagine XH saying to me in many years to come....you were the nicest W I had...but I guess we all take our own journeys and learn what we need to learn in time.

I listened to a TED talk the other day and she said - when we ask to learn patience, we get a long line at the bank....life is just like that.

I'm glad to hear you have been having some nice time with your H. Yes, it is a mixed picture but there are positives in there. As you say, how much is making your S a priority and how much is genuine fondness for you - I guess time will tell. I think it is always best to remember that he may not have much to offer at this point. Hence the non-reply to your invite etc. If you are able to shrug and keep moving forward, I think that is best...

As you say, who knows what may ultimately unfold, but you being happy with your own choices in all of this is paramount.

Best wishes to you my friend xx
