Keep going forward. The guy you met is just one guy. There are a lot of good men out there.
Nothing says love like a snowblower.
You need to set your own rules Red. I know I've told you this, but your husband doens't have to play by your rules and therefore is playing the game the way he wants.
Thanks Woog! I look up to you and I here your voice in the back of my head often. "What would Woog do?" The jerk I met Friday at least help me realized that my life isn't over and there are guys out there looking for a Redhottie. I didn't get upset Saturday when I found out he was actually a tool. I did wish you were there with your 2x4 though.

It is amazing how much difference a year can make. You are right K I am much happier. The Ds and I were going to bake cookies which usually sends me over the edge. I asked the Ds how much they bet I couldn't get mad while baking. I usually get upset if the Ds are doing it just the way I want. I am glad I did because it kept me thinking and I watched my actions and words. D16 put on music and we were singing and being silly. D11 is my silly one and D16 is very reserved. D11 started dancing and D16 even joined in. I think we had the most fun making cookies that we ever have. It made me realize that the Ds are a lot better than they were last year too.

Christmas Eve: I took the Ds to Christmas Mass. The Ds asked H to go, but it was late afternoon and he was still "working." I had made our traditional Christmas Eve pork dinner. The Ds wanted H there so I let them invite him. H came and thanked me more than once for the dinner. H had brought over his gifts for the Ds and me to put under the tree. D wanted him over in the morning to open gifts. I figure this will be our last Christmas as H and W so I allowed it.
CHRISTMAS DAY H came over in the morning and was here when he said he would be. We opened our gifts and I was surprised that H had bought a new camera for me. I have a nice one already, but this is slim and more easily carried. It was Ds idea I guess. I drove seperately to his parents' house to watch Ds open gifts and get mine. Didn't tell them I wasn't going to his aunt's for the family dinner. Drove home when it was time to go to the aunt's. FIL called about 15min. later but I sent it to VM. They "all" wanted me to come. I didn't acknowledge the call. H brought the Ds home and everyone is in a good mood.

Hi Red, It sounds like you had some difficulty dealing with the family dinner. That made me chuckle a little because it sounds like something i would do....avoid the sitch. We all have our way of dealing with things. On the guy front, although I agree with Woog....there are nice guys out there, i have heard from a couple of single women that they have run into some tools also. I read your original posts on this thread and you sound alot better today....even if we are smack in the middle of the holidays.
