Well, things have sorted themselves out as far as Mark goes, for once again he has showed his colours. I am upset again, but not so bad. He has just reminded me who he is. He phoned to follow up his text, to ask whether i would get back with him for his 'life is on hold for me'. (... Interesting as he has trips booked with Rowena etc.) When I said to him that there would be no way I would live with him in Townsville, nor allow him to work there and go there alone due to his history with women there and that being where Rowena lives, he just replied "Oh, well, if I have to move from Townsville, then our marriage is over.Thanks for that, i just needed to know. I cant move from there for that is where i make my money to keep us going".   Simple. Done. And all weekend, he went on and on about how he was going to live in Bris and then visit Cairns and Mackay and Rocky and not Townsville The new surgeon was for Townsville. He has his sights set on our patient educator i suspect. She is a good friend to me - Paula.  She has just left her controlling husband and moved to a unit. She has 2 little boys - 7 and 9 I think.  He made some comment about taking her out on the weekend one time. She is 15 years younger than him. Not his type at all. And hopefully she is wise to him. She certainly knows his history with me. God, i hope she does not fall for his charms.  It would be terrible to have her as his partner, for I would not want to talk to her, but i like her. No good worrying about the future though. At least he has chopped off any thoughts i may have had on reconciliation. There were a few this morning, based on the thing with Paul being so disrupted. Another part of my journey. A stumbling block. I will not believe in him again.
