Dreams of a New Normal...

[aliveandkicking]

And I meant thanks to all of you...

[The Wifey]

He just texted that he'd "love to talk" to me...

Say nothing?

He would love to talk? That is what HE wants. Not what YOU need or with any consideration even if you need space. He wants you to talk so that translates to you have to talk? I don't think so.

Think about yourself right now. Let him twist.

I really liked Lotus' assessment of the sitch.

Still, Lotus, I don't know what he wants or is thinking.

Exactly. And you can't know what he wants. But you can take the time alone to figure out what you want and act accordingly.

[Lotus]

He'd love to talk to you is not the same as he'd talk love to you. Don't get confused.

I'm not really confused about that Lotus, I am just exhausted. I don't even think he is capable of what I would want. I just want some time to sort myself out and him contacting me spins me for better or worse. We covered a LOT of ground yesterday. I was not a wilting flower looking for love. I was mostly listening and I also really set him straight on some things. I just need to get some rest and regroup.

Anyway, got some IRL advice from SP...basically be decent but tell him I need the 48 hours to regroup.

I'm at that point where I need to be honest and polite and take care of myself regardless of consequence.

I said, "I'm glad we've had honest communication. I just need some time to digest it."

He answered, "Ok. I've been paralyzed all night and all day from your pain, mine, the kids etc. Really..."

[Lotus]

That sounds good.

[JayMan]

Now TAKE the time! Go get a manicure or a massage or something.

[aliveandkicking]

Oh, ya, with my monkeys jumping all over the place.

Tomorrow night, I'll go out with a GF to a Comedy Club.

And H's text??? Anyone care to explore that? Or is there no chance that anyone is that bored here?
