He said he's seeing someone new

Thanks 4ever! I'm reading your post at about 11:30pm my time, so nope, not too late.

You know how I joked about asking for a punching bag for my b'day? Well I actually mentioned it to my parents and I'm actually getting one! Dad only ordered it today, because I found a seller on ebay that had a fantastic price on them, so I don't have it yet, but it's my official b'day pressie none the less!

My day started with a txt from my best friend.
About 30 min later, I got a txt from MIL, wishing me a Happy B'day and saying we'd catch up soon.
Then I got a txt from my sister.
Then a couple hours later I got a txt from one of "our" friends, the guy who hosted that BBQ, who also works with H. When I got the msg I thought, "How the hell would he know it's my b'day?" because whilst I'm sure I would have mentioned it at some point over the years we've known each other, I'm sure he wouldn't have just remembered of his own accord. Nope, I'm pretty sure that someone at work must have mentioned that it was my b'day, so even though I didn't actually hear from that someone at all, I think I can safely assume that at least he hadn't forgotten that today was my b'day.

Got a package in the mail from MIL. A card saying Happy B'day and that the present was, "just a little something until we catch up". It's a really pretty bracelet, which I wore to dinner with my family tonight.

My brother played football with H against last night. Once again, the person who I suspect may be OW wasn't playing. B said he considered casually saying, "How come X hasn't been playing the last couple of weeks?" but thought better of it.
