Hi 10122006 and Osu43130,

good to hear from you again - I appreciate your thoughts -

yes, maybe she does know I know, and I don't need to confront her ... the note and the book were signals...

of course, if there is no softening after another chunk of DB, then maybe a confrontation is what she wants...

That wording 'let her go' was wrong - I am not a macho guy at all - rather I meant that I don't do anything to keep her here and actually encourage her to go places, in this case nearly always for work (her choice). Maybe it will help her get a better self image, working and making money; she currently makes only a fraction of my salary, which can't be good for a proud person... I always told her that renovating our old house here, and so adding value to it, is also making money, but that isn't really the same... I am the chief cook in the family (she said 'you've taken over the kitchen'; it was actually a way to keep myself busy and useful in the early stages of our estrangement) , so the classic woman = kitchen and child caretaker and homebody thing is at least somewhat defused in our M.

So fun is what is needed? Or is at least a good thing for this relationship potion...

How is the hair going, Osu43130?

Just had a pleasant SMS from W, so a good time to hit the sack (going on midnight here)

Cheers from the dark north,

Luke
