Okay Bruce,

But what if your X says to you that you look hot and that you're so sexy he/she just wants to f**k you?? Because that's exactly what mine said to me on Sunday! and 'go on, admit it, you want to touch me.'

Just what conclusions do I draw as the LBS, then? Sometimes, Bruce, when they look at you 'like that', they ARE looking at you 'like that', and not just in your imagination either.

I can safely say that for all the times I have thought about my X, he has been thinking about me at least for half the number of times I have thought of him, so it sometimes isn't as black and white as they've left you and the only one who is bothered is you.

I must admit though, when he first left I was ALWAYS thinking about him because I missed him (I think that's why the LBS does it, lonliness), and these days I don't wonder what he is up to except on special ocassions or like today with it being FIL's funeral, I wonder how he is coping.

I think all LBS's have the potiential to become MORE than they were in the M, once they get passed the lonliness of being single again.

Jo.
