Posting in case Willow has time to take a look...Others can comment too...just looking for opinions and insights...

In addition, some thoughts I emailed to an old friend
from DB:

X and I went out for a drink about a month ago and she
wanted to go. Once we were out, I just talked about
innocuos things. At one point she ended up telling me
how she got involved with old next door neighbor, who
is married; but claims it happened months after our
separation...Still was talking to him when we went for
drinks...BTW, that same night she I and the kids all
went to a Christmas thing dowtown in the city she
lives in...

Anyway, we went out and when she told me that, she
started crying...4 times in fact!!! She never shows
emotion??? She also said you wouldn't like me if you
knew what I did. "I am not the person everyone thinks
I am" I asked her if she was a lesbian and she said
no...so, this is about her and that guy. Also, she
swore she would never get one and she got a tattoo.
Tells me not to tell her parents and hides it from
them!!! (My daughter saw it too...she told her to not
say anything either) Well, we walked out of there and
she held my hand and gave each other a quick kiss
goodnight...Since then it has been good; but she gets
a bit standoffish...So as not to make it look like she
needs me for anything :-(

We had originally agreed to go to a play together; but
nothing has been out there to see...so, I haven't
mentioned it in over a month. I did however get ahold
of Billy Joel tickets and haven't been to a concert in
a year because I don't want to go alone. I know she
likes him and would like to ask her to go (Jan. 30);
but not sure how and when to ask??? (She had even
mentioned he was coming to town when we went for the
drink)
