Your friends here have missed you, that's for sure. I am glad to hear that the trip was more "up" than "down." I am glad that you didn't let OW spoil it for you too badly with the whole same cabin issue. Way to db.
Things have taken a turn for the way better in my sitch. They started getting better about 3 weeks ago when H went to C w/me and we re-discovered how to talk to each other.
He left for Brazil (OW - land) on June 20th after telling me that he was going to put closure to his sitch w/ OW That same day our boys left for camp and I went to San Diego for 4 days, but I went dark on H and didn't tell him where I would be.
I started to get kind of freaked out with him after 5 days or so of being in Brazil because he was clearly still w/OW. At one pt in time I actually came out and asked him if he was still shacking up w/ her and he said yes. I got ticked off and said "well why don't you call me when you're not any more" then I hung up with him. I decided afterwards that was old-Pam behavior (ie. not dealing with conflict, but avoiding it) so I called him back and told him that it would be nice if his words and actions matched up.
All this past weekend I didn't talk to H and just felt sort of tired and mopey, really drained and worn out.
Lo and behold Monday night H calls in tears He and OW spent the weekend in Rio de Janiero where they had gone at the start of their A back in Feb 2003. Stayed at the same posh hotel ate at the same fancy places. H said he knew before he went that it would be their last time together. Evidently in the plane on the way back from Rio OW wanted to read some e-mail on H's laptop that was an old one from me. H wouldn't let her and they got into a honkin fight. Once they got back to their apt OW took off.
To make a really long story short they are now seemingly not together or at least in a big fight. H said he sees that she is not the real thing, that I am. That she proclaimed to believe God, but shows no evidence of it. That only a woman who truly loved him would have stood by him through all his crap.
I have a new thread in piecing called In the fullness of time... but I haven't successfully masted the linking thing yet. Please come visit me love ya, Pam
