brewing thought...not on cake-eating.

Did you ever have one of those punching or bounce back toys...I had a blow up snow man weighted at the bottom. You could hit it and it would just wobble nad bounce upright again.

Well some MLCers run away. They may or may not want us to pursue...probably they want both.

But others push to create that space between us. They try to push us away while they stay put. In that case, I guess a Stander's job is to be like the snowman and bounce back.

(And then do some do both?)

I'm faster now than in the beginning. He seems to freak, too.

I just don't care tonight.

Right now, in your situation, Jazz, running does work better. But how far will you have to run before your Angel will catch up with you. That is the real question. Let her grow and your chances are better. 'Standing' is more about 'stability' in her case. That is what she is looking for. She doesn't know this yet. Let her see that you can be that stability.

Standing is simple. You are married. End of story. You don't have to do anything. You just have to live.

NO, no, no....don't be the doormat. Only you can figure that one out. That is the fine line between manhood and doormat. Womanhood and doormat. This is what we ALL need to learn.

My ex told me that I was more of a woman than ow. My best friend told me that ow was a doormat...and she has met her...and that this was what ex wanted...a doormat.

I wouldn't send the letter...she will perceive it as doormat. She knows you well enough to know that you want what's best for her...tell me I'm wrong.
