Twenty years ago I had my first "boyfriend

Wow, what a story. Isn't it amazing how far we travel between our late teens and our late 30s? I feel so different, I'd hardly recognize the person I was back then...and if I could meet him, I'd feel an intense compassion, and tell him to pull his head out of his ass a few years ahead of schedule.

I wish I had an answer to your question. I'm not sure, but I think it's been at least six months since I had any contact with my ex-wife. While I have no desire to be friends with her, either, it still seems odd to act as though we'd never met and didn't live together for seven years.

Let me know if you find any clarity on this, because I could use a little...and I'll pass along any that somehow finds its way to me.

I wouldn't. It doesn't seem like a correspondence at this point would serve any purpose.

Ick. I know how you feel. If I were in your shoes, that answer would be "No." Unless there's something you feel you still need to say to him, that is.

I think I have more to say to myself than to him -- in terms of not berating myself for that little episode. I really think I should have known better. But I didn't. Weren't you encouraging people to practice forgiveness...? :-) Even self-forgiveness?
