OK, update: I talked w/WH tonight.....<BR> <BR>See, I needed to contact him to ask him if he got important papers, I forwarded to him in the mail last week-end (the mail's been slow, lately, dontcha know?). I called there about 8:30 - SHE answered, I sweetly asked for my H, SHE said he was at work, and would <B>"be home"</B> (I HATED that!) about 10....I said, "Could you please ask him to call me? Thank you." and hung up.<BR> <BR>He did. Promptly at 10. I asked about the papers, yes, he got them, thanked me for sending them. I told him I got "OUR" tax rebate check, had deposited his half in the joint acct. he has access to -- he said, "Take it back out and YOU keep it, you can use it for mad money" (I said, "yeah, right, MAD money!") Or, he says, "use it to pay bills, I know you can use it." I tried to protest, said, "No, half is yours....." NO, he insisted......heck, if he wants to pay GUILT money, I guess I can let him!!!!!!!!!!!<BR> <BR>He mentions that his car insurance is only good till Nov. and if I send him the bill when it comes, he'll probably change it over THERE (he lives in different city) when it's time to renew. I agreed, even tho I'm DYING INSIDE...............(I guess he hasn't realized yet HOW MUCH it's going to cost in BIG CITY he's living in!!)<BR> <BR>Then he proceeds to give me his work schedule, AND HERS, tells me SHE LEAVES FOR WORK AT 10:15 AT NIGHT.....and then gives me his new cell phone #..........hmmmmmmm........<BR> <BR>More small talk, he tells me about his new job.....what he likes, what he hates (I already knew these things would happen!)<BR> <BR>We really only talked about 5 minutes (I cut it off this time, instead of waiting for him to).<P>I said, "I gotta go, I love you....." <BR>HE SAYS, "Yeah, you too....." (Usually when I say that, he says, "OK" or "I know you do")<BR> <BR>Is it just me, or does anyone else think this all sounds positive, and I'm seeing b-a-b-y s-t-e-p-s back toward home?<P>Thanks for your input.<P>Lupo

Lupo,<P>Hi. I don't think I've written to you before.<P>I have also started cutting my H off on the phone, being the first to go, and it does throw them for a loop. I have only done it twice, the last two times he called, but the first time I did it, he phoned back about two hours later to ask me something he could have easily sent me an email about. I live in a diferent country now from my H, so I felt that 2nd call was a good sign.<P>Yes it is a teeny weeny step, I really believe that, for you and me, but we should not hold any expectations to it. Just keep doing what we're doing, hey?<P>Love and light,<P>Jacky
