He said he's seeing someone new

[Ophelia]

Well, my brother saw H tonight at football.

One of our friends, let's call him T, who is also on the team is someone I'm positive H would be confiding every little detail to. T came up to B and cheerfully said they were glad he was back on the team, and asked why he hadn't been there the last couple of weeks. B diplomatically said that he just hadn't felt like playing. T then asked him again, and got the same response, then tried asking a third time, and got the same response again. I said to B that T was probably trying to bait him to get a nasty (but honest) answer out of him, so it's a good thing he didn't react.

One of our other friends, let's call him J, had been happily chatting away to my B. A few minutes later he casually said to H, whilst B was standing practically right next to them, "So did you get anything for VDay?" Now J isn't the brightest of boys, so maybe that explains why he was silly enough to ask such a thing with my B clearly within earshot. B told me that H just gave J a "look", then tried to inconspicuously nod and tell him that yes, he did get something for VDay. B thought the whole thing was rather hilarious, and I must say I got a laugh out of it too. At least he's still got some kind of a conscience if he freaked and couldn't just openly answer the question like he had nothing to hide or apologise for, I suppose.

B tried to be as upbeat and friendly as possible, though it wasn't easy, and he was basically smiling through gritted teeth. Apparently H came right up and said hi to him when he arrived, but never asked how I was.

B said that H seemed to have lost more weight since he saw him last, (part of what kickstarted his whole need to be free from me was that he lost a whole bunch of weight and in doing so felt like a whole new person who needed a whole new life....I think it's what triggered the MLC to be honest). B said that H's legs were about as thin as mine now, and take it from me, that's pretty thin!

During the game, B threw a pass which was apparently quite hard and flew right at H's head. He said he didn't do it on purpose, but wasn't entirely disappointed about it. Apparently H looked a little freaked out, assuming it had been deliberate.

H seemed to be in a reasonably good mood, when his idiot friends weren't asking him what his girlfriend got him for VDay right in front of his brother in law, that is.

The girl who I suspect may be OW, and who almost always plays on their team, wasn't there tonight, which I find interesting.

Oh well, if anything, I hope that seeing my B has served to remind H that myself and my family do still exist, and maybe it'll make him stop and think, at least for a moment.



In other news, I posted the letter to H's lawyer tonight. Dad actually wrote it for me, so it sounds all formal and junk, (I'm not great at that kinda stuff). It basically asked for clarification on several issues, and pointed out that no proof of any kind was given as to the values quoted for various things in the letter, then at the end says:

Given all of the above, it is difficult for me to consider whether the proposed settlement is equitable. I would appreciate it if you could supply the further information mentioned above.

I was discussing it with my sister tonight, and we realised that no doubt when they get this letter, they'll want to have another meeting with H...which he'll have to pay for. Oh well, it's his own damn fault if he ends up having to pay 100s of dollars he doesn't have on legal fees. At the risk of sounding 5 years old, he started it!
