Ah 1210, true colors and timing woman. Taking a leap of faith with an XH i shard enough to do, seeing those reminders of why they are an X can be very beneficial. So the question is since he is obviously not bright enough or changed enough to realize the value that you put on this particular subject, is this the direction that you really want to go?
Let me explain what I am saying to you. I don't like Cats, in fact, cant really stand them. I am a die hard dog lover. However just in the brief time of knowing you through the boards I realize the value that you put on Cheddie and how special he is to you. Therefore I sympathize with your loss, and I feel terrible for what you have to go through in delaing with it. It doesnt really matter at that point what MY opinion is on it. I just respect YOU enough to care about YOUR feelings. I don't want to be rude, or overstep my bounds here, but your XH is an as^hole for his behavior and showed YOU no respect in how he handled this regardless of HIS personal feelings about your pet. If he handled something as simple and basic as sympathy in such a selfish manner, why would YOU trust him to handle your emotional needs going forward? Just curious where the value is there for YOU?
I'm really glad your back, you were truly missed. By the way if you want an interesting read and to see someone who is even more stubborn then our beloved Ben, hop over and read KristyS in Newcomers from yesterday... all I can say is WOW
