I've been reading gift suggestions that others have posted on this site, and most of them suggest something small. Well, I think I over did it a bit. I spent more money on my H this year than I ever have before! He has really been wanting a digital camera, but didn't want to spend the money on one...so what did I buy? You guessed it...a digital camera. With the excessories and everything it came to $1000. This isn't the only thing I bought him. Since I was unsure whether to get the camera, I had already purchased hockey tickets ($170) and a movie ($13). After all that we have been through this year, maybe I shouldn't have purchased the camera. But, I thought this might be our last Christmas together and I wanted to make it really special.<P>Just a quick update on our situation...I know that he has filled out all of the divorce papers and is living w/ the OW, but he continues to come over a be very affectionate w/ me. On Sunday he threw me down on the bed and started kissing me very passionately! That's as far as it went though. We are going to his family's house on Christmas Eve together, probably going to midnight mass and then he wants to spend the night so that he can be with us on Christmas morning. I try not to get too excited about these things because it could mean nothing. I just think that he is still very confused. I have been in a very casual and relaxed Plan A lately. Instead of calling him, I wait till he calls me. And, it seems like he has been calling a lot lately! (Once again this could mean nothing!) I implemented this plan about two weeks ago before I read the book "Divorce Busting" which recommends this plan as a last resort! I had no idea.<P>Sorry this is so long, I think I got a little off my topic. I was just curious if others had gone overboard like me. <P>Have a very Merry Christmas everybody!<P>Darlene

We'll his b-day was the 5th, our anniversary was the 21st, and ofcourse X-mas this Sat. Needless to say, he did get a lot this month. <P>------------------<BR>"If you can learn from the mistakes of others, you won't have to make them youself."

Sleepless -- W until the last day or so has continued to show warm affection even though she has decided definitely to move out. All I'm saying is be careful about what you read into the affection.<P>I just couldn't get into the gifts thing. W had already done some Christmas shopping for me, but I got her to agree on <B>no</B> gift exchange between us. It doesn't make any sense to me and just because it makes her feel better is not a good enough reason.<P>Like jamie-lee, we had several dates right together, Christmas, my b-day Jan 2 and our anniversary Jan 7. There is no reason now in this house for any celebrations. Sorry for the downer, I'm not doing well right now...<P><BR>--DeWayne--
