It can be so beguiling to think that you could have finally gotten the "fix" you'd been dreaming of through the most lonely times since the split. Knowing that you could have been on the path to installing yourself in that life (if only for awhile) just by accepting a dinner invitation? My gawd, how tempting for anyone! I'm really quite suspicious that I would have caved in and rationalized myelf into accepting. I think you are an *incredibly* brave woman to have stayed strong and maintained the distance necessary to see things clearly, from that awful series of messages to your emailed response. Whether you feel it yet or not, I *really* believe you've made a breakthrough. Fwiw, I'm very proud of you.
