Never. No. Not true. I don't quite agree with Sonntag's definition of "free", but I can assure you it's possible to "hang out" with your ex-SO (ex-wife, in my case) and her SO without jealousy, pain or dispair, because I do it frequently, and have for the past 6 years. Frankly, it was pretty easy even before I got over her; what was hard was being alone with her, but now even that's easy. - From the Crow's Nest - Kenn Barry NASA-Ames Research Center Moffett Field, CA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- USENET: {ihnp4,vortex,dual,nsc,hao,hplabs}!ames!barry
