So D. invited me to spend several days in New England with him, to enjoy the Autumn. I have not been to New England for ages and would love to go. I even have a free ticket because my AmEx gives me Delta miles with every purchase. That is actually an important consideration since I am on a tight budget otherwise. I will post separately with a question on how to handle jet lag.

I think I have overblown the issue of how I look (fat). He tells me how much he misses me - why would he if he had a negative disposition towards me? I think Robert is right, D. does not care. He told me that if it is more convenient for me to pay for reservations with my credit card, he will just give me cash upon arrival, and did not mention my reserving TWO rooms, so I assume (a reasonable assumption?) that he plans for us to stay together - nor does he have money (I know it) for separate accommodations. I think he thinks it is beyond the obvious, and there is just one silly little hammy who questions everything and is unsure of herself. Right?

I do not want though to make it appear that the content of our correspondence and Skype communication is predominantly romantic. Quite the obvious, it is predominantly not. And, we email around 3AM in Europe and I always tell him that I worry that he is still not asleep, so he emails me right before going to bed. This clearly shows that he continues to live without his wife, not that I care.
