Gosh, is it Friday already? Where does the time go??

This has actually ended up being a quiet week. BMOW never responded to the additional business stuff I forwarded to her in the mail. One business email she sent to my H earlier this week had no mention of the forwarded mail from me and the tone of her email was almost wistful. I hope she is getting resigned to the fact that I am back in my H's life and her connection to him will soon be broken forever, finally.

How do I know this?

Well, today H and I spent the better part of the morning in federal court finishing the filing of our bankruptcy that we were forced to file as a result of his MLC spending spree over an 18 month period. Oh, and there were all those MLC business start-up costs, too. The bankruptcy trustee quizzed my H pretty thoroughly on his involvement in the business with BMOW. On the record, my H stated that he had simply given ALL his shares in the business to BMOW and one of the other business partners to split and that all that is left to do is for him to formally resign as owner and CEO of the company. The trustee exclaimed, "You GAVE your shares away and did not SELL them?" "And now you are simply going to resign from this business?" My H said, "Yes because the business has yet to make any money and probably never will, but BMOW has worked hard on it and she can have my part of the business. The business certainly has no assets to pay any or all of this debt back. In fact, the reason I am in bankruptcy court is because of that business. I am formally giving my part of the business away and will be done with it shortly."

On the drive home, my H said," I bet you didn't know that I was going to just give BMOW the business." In all honesty, I could only say, "Nope. Didn't know that." But I was thinking, "Why has it taken this long to even consider giving her and the business up totally?" H went on to say that all he had to do was file a formal resignation letter and then he would have no more ties to BMOW OR the business. I said, "So, that means that shortly she will be out of our lives for good and the two of you will have absolutely NO MORE REASON to stay in any kind of contact, right?"

Boy, THAT question took his breath away and very hesitantly and thoughtfully, he nodded his head yes. I don't think he had thought that far ahead! Wow, no more contact AT ALL for the two of them! I then asked him when he would be resigning. I did not get an answer to that question. I suppose he was caught up in thinking about the upcoming TOTALLY NO CONTACT that I really should have enforced as a boundary several months ago, but did not for various reasons. Well, I am learning. At least as far as I know, the two of them have not laid eyes on each other since April 5th.

So, H was able to share a little more of his thoughts today with me and the time we spent together was very positive. H took me to lunch and we shopped and he bought me a few things, then we came on home in the afternoon. We are each now sitting at our respective computers, he is playing one of his computer games and I am typing this.

We have plans for another date tomorrow night. He is taking me to a "Star Watching Party"--NOT celebrity stars, but celestial stars! This should be something different, so we'll see how it goes!

Blessings,
