Thanks job, Irish and bttrfly for stopping by. My son’s graduation was a very happy event. H flew in and stayed with his brother, they also drove together to the ceremony, even though I offered a ride, as I was picking up my son’s GF. The party after the ceremony was in my son’s house that he rents with his GF, her brother and a friend. A few of my friends were invited, including the mutual friends from the vacation home.

H and his brother were a bit uncomfortable at first, but then relaxed. My family treated H like a long lost relative. Their kids hugged him and told him how happy they were to see him. My sister and her H spoke with his quite a bit. My sister told H that they will always consider H as a family and they are very grateful for what H (and I of course) did for them when they first immigrated to the country. H was very touched, thanked my sister and told her that it was important for him to hear this.

My sister told me that she was very impressed how I handled everything and behaved around H. She said that I was neutral and classy. I didn’t feel any discomfort with H being there. I just enjoyed the moment. I think my son was also a bit nervous about the whole thing at first, but then relaxed as well. He thanked me multiple times for the great party and great time. My fiends also told me that they had a great time.

H and I talked a bit. He asked me if I was going to the vacation home for the Memorial Day weekend (which I already told his that I would go). He then asked me if I’ve been to a new restaurant that opened close to the development and that I need to check it out and they have a happy hour and serve beer for $0.75. I mentioned that I already told H about going to the vacation home. Well, in one of business related e-mails he asked “If for any reason you need to use my condo for anything, please let me know ahead of time so I can make sure it is ready.” I thought it was interesting, because I had not asked about it at that time, he kind of volunteered it. I also thought that he is not telling me that I cannot stay in “his” condo anymore, because I have mine now.

I’m at the vacation home this weekend. When I was driving here, I was thinking that I would feel more comfortable in my own condo, then in the joint one (especially that H calls it “his”), but when I got here, it felt so natural. I can’t put a finger on it, but I think I’m kind of not associating this condo with H, but just feel comfortable with all the familiar stuff. I can’t even explain it.

H moved my clothes from the master bedroom to another bedroom though. I guess he needs more closet space, LOL. He didn’t move my stuff that is in one of the cabinets under the sink (my side), and he didn’t move things that I have in the drawers in the side table next to the bed. Maybe it will be the next step, LOL. I brought some of my clothes back to the master bedroom for me to use while I’m here. I have no problem moving it back when I leave. I don’t want to invade H’s space, even though I’m kind of doing it by staying in the condo. I think I feel ok with that because I don’t see any evidence of a possible OW anywhere here.

I have some more updates to follow.
