Thanks for the great advice Jin. I am going on the trip and will take this with me to keep looking at throughout the trip. Had a down and dirty discussion this eve with my parents about what is happening. Came out of it feeling pretty good considering they were looking at all aspects not just my view.

Today was hard as I got a phone call from a guy I knew before my husband who I never dated but got to be great friends. he would visit me at work but nothing else. My H has this chip on his shoulder about this guy after 11 years. I have not spoken to him in 2 years. My H is actually friends with him and sees him regularly. My H had a conversation with him last week about me and told him to call me. I was so hurt and offended that H would do such a thing. maybe he thinks I will have a fling with this guy and make it easier on himself. Am working through it. I did tell H was the rudest thing he has done to me.

I told h that we were friends and I have no interest in him and that it is h that I love. Felt it was necessary considering. I guess I will see!

X, have a great time on your date. Someday I hope to have one also. Take Jin's advice with you.
