Part 9 - Contents May Become Mildly Amusing

[edz]

Hi Ganb8te

I think I read that book or one similar about 4 years ago when w was starting to distance. I tried some of the ideas out but w just said she needed me to give her space and let her come to me. Tried that and it worked a little but then she left me alone for 3 months and so we started the cycle again.

As I said on part 8 at the moment Im just trying to let w work out her destination as she seems to be moored right now.

Gg cool, sounds like you're feeling in control of your environment and you're certainly seeming happy in chosing your directions. Definitely no need to rush anything with a np only go there when/if you want to

You and me both, Edz, you and me both. I'm just a tad worried I didn't bring enough supplies in my boat before I'll have to turn back.

[Ggrass]

I know right?

Sound weird in the early bits I was thinking hurry up move on date meet some one, as other thought that would mean the hurt would stop.

Now I dont see why I should, or why I want to. Which is the reverse of my early days.

Gg I think its just detatchment and adapting to the new sitch, I know I feel much better nowadays just doing my own thing (mr fixit allowing of course) in your case I think youve got (to continue the boat metaphor that seems to have started here) control of the tiller now and are happily cruising or at least running around looking at the coast.

Wow this is getting very nautical all of a sudden

Im very happy to see youve said in other posts the real you is coming back to the fore, so you should

Well, if we're talking about boats and getting all nautical. I like the analogy of H and I being in boats and we paddled along together. Maybe one of us held a rope to make sure our boats didn't get separated. But, then he hit some current - a big load of current - and I tried to hold on to the rope for a while and keep us together.

Problem was, my boat was getting into some danger too. i had to save myself, so I dropped the rope, and I watched him be carried away in the current. I can still see him in the distance and I'm not sure if he can get back to me - or whether he wants to try. I'm hoping he hasn't forgotten what he learned on that Yachtmaster course!

Toots, the timing of that post was perfect for me this morning in relation to my sitch. I've allowed myself to get into a rocky place in my career due to my unhappiness. WAW is moving to do her own thing in a separation. I'll keep an eye on her, but it's time for me to take care of my boat.

Well just had my feared review...

And was very positive, apparently in the meeting all the heads of every department just agreed when my team leader put me through as strong, not one dissenter from any of the other teams at all.

I needed to hear that today. Made me smile.

As to my other problems in my mind right now, and given the current "tide" of this thread and the "undercurrent", I shall treat it as a load of rollocks

[Sotto]

Jolly Well Done Edz! Of course, we on the forum expected no less - and I'm sure there will be no dissenters here, when I vote you as strong too!

Yep...just had a look around - no dissenters at all....

Have a good evening! Toots :-)

Good for you on that great review. I have been away from the computer for a few days, so I have to go back and catch up on the whole dropping the rope vs. walking away so I know what all that talk is about. For me, at this point, I would say I didn't just drop the rope, I flung that baby down on the ground and stomped on it. LOL
