Hi Tad, I'm so glad to read that you're doing well and there are still a number of folks knocking around here who know you!

Must have felt weird interacting with your XW as you describe. I haven't seen my XH in a few years and I have no idea how well I would cope seeing him. Personally, I think civil and polite is the way to go - partly because you have kids together - partly because anything other than that may seem reactive and attached (and I wouldn't want to give the satisfaction of that) and partly because in time we need to release things and truly move on - for ourselves..

Pleased you still have a nice friendship with your lady friend and are looking after your health and enjoying new activities. Good for you!

I hope you'll drop in from time to time as I'm sure you have much to offer others too.

Best wishes to you :-)
