Windy - Don't worry. Country Z will be thrown into the mix one of these days. Yes, I do find it easier that our contact is via phone. As per Kismet - he can't see me rolling my eyes when I am talking on the phone. And because it's expensive, our convo has been limited and had not venture to "sensitive" topics, so it has been light and friendly. Plus as for phone texts...I could re-read and edit out any sarcasm. So, no backsliding there. Also, I feel that I don't have to "pretend" to be doing my own stuff when H is around. The only problem is when H comes back to visit the boys. I will have to work on detaching and have no negative emotions. H has said that he will want to stay in the hotel. So, I will have to STILL upbeat when he tells me he is staying at the hotel. I can't force him to do stuff that he doesn't want to, can I?

Kismet - I am sure OW got a test email message too. I don't think for a minute that they have totally stop communication. I know that I should act as-if, but I am also quite a realist. So, until I see concrete changes on H's part, I am not getting any hopes up.

By the way, had a meeting with the GM today. I will probably have to go to Country X either next week or the following week. For a moment, he actually suggested tmrw . Don't think that I will tell H. Let him ask me where I am when the time comes So far, have not heard from H today. It's fine....I've got stuff to do at work anyway.

One Day at a TIME!!!
