Michele, Thanks for adv. I thought I would get a chance to speak to W with C. Here's how it went.
1) Set up appt with C for Thur. intending to go on my own. W said she wanted to go to "explain herself". W called Thurs had important meeting can't make it. Not a lie she's busy at work. 2) Called C said I'd come alone. C said no wants W there with me. Told him it was to late nothing he could do (pessimist). C said, "lets try" (optimist). I like him. 3) Fri. sent W e-mail asked if she could schedule appt since my schedule is flexible. 4) Sat asked W if she made appt. W said she didn't get chance. 5) Tues. Still no word from W on appt.
My intentions: Call C and schedule appt for myself. Don't even tell W I'm going. Possibly bring kids at later date.
is familiar with your books and methods. Very pro marriage, makes no promises. All I could hope for.
