Thanks ladies- I know that i shouldn't be upset with my aunt, and i'm not...really. It just hurt. And i felt kind of embarrassed too...like people think i am a fool for actually considering myself still married...does that make sense? Yes, many people in my family think i should just D my H and move on...hell, they've already got quite a few men lined up for me. But, they just don't get it...i still love my H. There are times when i think, i'm done, that's it, i'm throwing in the towel. And then i think about what that really means, and i realize that i am not ready to not have my H in my life in some capacity. I just can't imagine it. But, i guess i should probably try to get used to it. Which is one of the reasons why i haven't called my H. Oh, the confusion!
