It's basically a bunch of puppies on a mini football field running around with a ball... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
I went ahead and checked the message. He wants to meet and talk. I responded by asking what he wanted to talk about.
His exact messages were: 1."Would you like to meet me for food and to talk?" 2."I guess your avoiding me or out having fun or something. I'd like to talk sometime, maybe this week?"

Huh. How clear are you in your own mind about conditions for reconciliation?
I like the idea of the puppies running around. Sounds much more fun than the Superbowl itself.

There has never really been talk of reconsiliation since the initial D-day. I did end up speaking with him on the phone.
He is very depressed. He wants to discuss the paperwork we need to do in order to finalize things between us. I'm not sure if he was talking about taxes or the paperwork for the divorce or both for that matter.
I've never heard him sound so depessed. He told me the past 8 months have been hell for him and that he just wants to get away from it all. He hopes to quit his job and move far away from everything. He said that it sounds like it would be good for both of us if we did that. (I'm guessing in our own ways though).
The last thing he said to me was that he was tired of this same thing coming up. I'm guessing there was some contact from either the girl or her parents to let him know about the e-mail but it didn't sound like he was sure it came from me. It sounded like he was fishing for proof that it was me. He wants to meet me on Tuesday. I'm not sure if I should. I'm thinking I might just want to get a lawyer and have all contact in the matter to be done that way.
The sadness I heard in his voice was more than I've heard from him in the past. I wonder if he's finally realized that he might just have to deal with the consequences of his actions.
I don't know what the parents decided to do. Maybe they decided to pull the girl from his class and he's upset about that. I'm not thinking that his depression stems from not being with me. My feeling is that the loss of the girl would have more of an effect on him than the loss of me as his wife and companion. Don't think I'm selling myself short though. I just don't think I mean all that much to him.
As for the puppy bowl... It's really silly... cute but silly... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
