Thanks, all of you for validating my actions in this matter. He actually did respond to my email in a similar warm and friendly manner, but it was substantially delayed by 7 hours. I suspect that his emails my have some sort of surveillance on them, but have no way of knowing this. All the more reason to take care in my statements to him.
I have always honored the institution of marriage, even my 20 year unhappy one, never being unfaithful once.
Thanks again, all dear friends for your responses.
Love,
Seeker Patty
