Wow, what a weekend! It was all work related, but the feedback I got was incredible...I was bowled over. Now, fingers crossed, it converts to sales.
I also bumped into someone who I've seen occasionally over the course of a number of years. I hadn't seen her since BD, and she said she was overwhelmed by my transformation. She said I had seemed very depressed before. I told her very briefly about what had happened, and a little about the particulars too (XH's drinking and affairs).
She said she had been married to an alcoholic for a number of years and she was very, very wary about Rs now (she's maybe in her 50s).
The previous evening, my mum also commented about how selfish and self centred XH was. It's the first time she's ever mentioned him since BD. I'm surprised she saw that, he was always on charm offensive around them.
Anyway, she also commented how nice it is that the wonderful man I'm with doesn't drink much. She's noticed how he might have one glass of wine with food and then just stop and not really want any more. She said she finds him incredibly thoughtful - the absolute opposite in that way to XH.
