Thanks for stopping by Olive and lwb.

Things are still going great with him....and of course there are butterflies :-) We email back and forth once a day or so...which is great...I love it. I don't want to have an hour long conversation about nothing...the emails are perfect. He's going to the wedding with me this weekend...I'm excited. I'm going to look for a new dress tonight :-)

Hey there, Hope. Glad things are looking up for you.

And I see nothing wrong with you wanting to be pursued. It's how the game is played. Most men want to be the pursuer. It's imprinted in our DNA...

So put on that new pair of New Balance you have in your closet and let the chase begin!!

I haven't had a chance to post for awhile because things have been busy. I was in Dallas last week and ran into some problems with american airlines and the MD80s being grounded, but all went ok and made it back on time.

The wedding went great and we've had date #4 since then. He even made me dinner...isn't that sweet. He takes everything in stride with my past which is terrific. He's already met two x-sil's and one x-niece and doesn't think anything of it...maybe it's from being from a big family....maybe it's because he's older....who knows but it's what I need. Things are going good, but I'm having a little trouble reading him, but other than that I couldn't ask for better.

On an unhappier note, XH has officially sold his house in MO, so I think he will be moved back in a matter of two months....ugh....I can do this....I will do this.

Hi Hope,

So happy to hear things are going well for u. I wouldn't stress too much about XH's move, a lot can happen in two months, and you may consolidate your R with your new man \:\)

Trust me, when things progress in your new R, XH will be a distant memory (not that he isn't already).

No change on my front. Officially divorced for a month, looking forward to my sea-change move in mid May (still only 15 minutes from Sydney CBD) and just consolidating my life.

Good luck with your "New Chapter" of your life \:\)
Lotsa luv,
Andy

Oooooo Hope, you go girl. ;\) At one time your online name was hopeless, you changed it to hope, now perhaps it's time to change it to Full of Hope.

Let's all toast Hope and her new chapter! Cheers!

Hugs, Yoyo

Let's not get ahead of ourselves...things are getting better but there is still a lot for me to get through.

Today I was talking to my co-worker and I realized for the first time that I really am a different person....I learned something....I'm not reverting back to my old ways. Last weekend, the guy I'm dating (B) made me dinner. We had a terrific time, and had planned on watching a movie after we finished. In the meantime, my niece text me that she was going to be out and that we should join them. I really wanted to go because I wanted her to meet B and she really wanted me to come. I told B about it and he said whatever you want to do is fine. I knew that he didn't really want to go....he was exhausted...but I did, so I told him that I wanted to go and so we did. In the past, with my X, I would always do what he wanted...when he wanted...how he wanted. I told myself that I wasn't going to fall into the same ruts again with a new relationship. However, during my first post-D relationship...I did. The first guy wasn't very open to any ideas but his own, so when we started to conflict....I shut down....closed myself off to him...did what he wanted because it was easier and I avoided that conflict that I so hate. So in hindsight....maybe I am learning something.

We ended up watching the movie the next day. It was called "Into the Wild". I usually only watch chick flicks but B recommended that I get this one and I was so happy I did. It turned out to be a great movie....very insightful.
