Al, Thanks. I was going to do what you said, too, which is to see where he's at when we meet up, and validate those ideas. He's hard to gauge a lot of the time. Last time we met up, he was so final, so negative about us. Then later than night, a late phone call, and confusing talk: from "I'm not coming back" to "I just need...some time". It's a wonder I'm not completely insane yet.
Most of us really marry only once. First love endures, even unto our dying day. And we never really divorce.
