You are so funny! I know you must be feeling better b/c you're making jokes now. In terms of the engagement, yeah, that sucks. Alison (ACJ) who's now on the MLC board is going through the same thing. Except in the UK, he can't get a D w/o her consent, so he's engaged with no end to his current M in sight. Crazy!!
Look, there's no way this thing with Crappie is going to work out. He's so up and down, back and forth. One day he wants to make things work with you, the next day, he's engaged. This makes no sense at all. And if she's willing to put up with that, hey, more power to her. Let her deal with the fallout when it happens (which it will), while you are getting on with your wonderful Emily life with your wonderful daughters.
When will you be done with your courses? Can you speed that up at all? Please make sure that if you get a job, you still finish your diploma; that's really important.
Why do you want to change your phone no? He doesn't call you much, does he? Would this help you or just be a pain in the butt? I do wonder if it might make you look bad in court, if you have to go there. If you bring up that you can't get in touch with him directly, you won't have much of an argument if he has the same problem. How about giving up your MySpace page instead? Then yucky people can't get in touch with you.
