Hi,

It's me!!

I don't look in on the board everyday and don't always post, so I guess that is how I missed some of your latest developments. I didn't realize you were over here on piecing.

Sorry about the delay in the Retouvaille weekend. Are his reasons genuine or is he delaying because he doesn't want to confront himself?? How much contact does he still having with OW? You really need her out of the picture. I sure hope she finds some other man to sink her claws into soon.

One thing I think you may still have to work on is sending him those e-mails. No matter how hard you try and avoid being critical any references to his behavior or interaction with you or the children is just going to get his back up. Maybe you could go back to smashing the plates. Do you have any left?

How did the children adjust to the move? Did they have to change schools? Have you sorted out the school fees?

I haven't got any plans to come out your way again, but I am hoping to join the winter party in Colorado at the end of January. I think Luke is moving ahead with the paper work on the D as he met her parent's this summer for the first time. I am 1000% certain they do not know of the circumstances behind their daughter's living arrangements. At worst they think he has no family, at best they think he is separated and working towards a D. They don't know, I am certain, of their D's role in all this. They were probably talking wedding bells and he feels bad about letting her parents down. So he is going through the motions. When I asked him if he was sure he wanted a D, the response I got was, 'I am certain as any one can be in my situation'. Sounds to me like he feels he is being forced into it by circumstance. What he would really like to do is sit on the fence a bit longer.
