Dear Eirinn, Kramer, Smothy, mahhhty, Huddy, Ripken and PigPen,

Wow, have I been swamped at work. better than not having enough to do! I think I finally caught up on most, if not all, situations I have been following--even a few new ones. Hehe

My update: I have no update, but that could be a good thing. 3 days ago, I sent the "team" text to my W after she professed to missing me so much and being "very confused." As I wrote the other day, she has never admitted to being confused. Ever.

My IC has thought she would realize this eventually. So, I see no response as a possible "good" sign (I know...mind reading). What do you guys think? I think she's re-evaluating her decision. She still may decide to go thru with the D, but for now I will keep with the PMA! cool

Eirinn, you asked about any GAL this weekend. I think I posted it in your thread. Anyway, I am going to watch the hockey game tomorrow night with friends and Sunday I'm heading over to an Antique Auto Show. You are so very caring. Thank you for asking.

Kramer, you mention my PMA. I got that from people such as yourself on this forun. Thanks Kramer!

Smothy, I'm so happy that reading my thread gives you inspiration. And, you are quite welcome.

mahhhty, Thanks for checking in, sir. You're right--No Expectations. You do know who really got me to believe that it helps? You did! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Huddy, thank you for the support. I am doing better.

Ripken, thank you for the compliment. Again, the PMA came back to me from this loving DB Family. I'm happy to hear my thread gives you a boost. Wow...

PigPen, thanks for the inspiration. You know what? I will keep rocking! cool You are always helpful.

I'll leave you with this, something I've learned about facing your problems. It has 3 main parts:

1. Recognize/define your problems.
2. Admit your problems to yourself and to others.
3. Take steps to deal with your problems in a healthy manner.


I love you guys!

Bob

I think not hearing from her could be good, but she might also be watching to see if you stop detaching because she admitted a weakness. So, as usual, forget about her thinking, and enjoy the wonderful person that is Bob. We all do!

Bob - What a great update. Sounds like the group text was just what the doctor ordered. I am happy for you and hope this does signify a turn around. I'm rooting for you Bob, I really am.

You sound like a really great man.

Dearest E,

Are you trying to make me cry? LOL You are SO sweet. And the advice, priceless...."forget about her thinking."

Thank you for checking in on me.

*Hugs*

Heavy, thank you so much. I think the text was "just what the doctor ordered." I have not tried to contact her since. I know she needs time to sort things out. No matter how things turn out, she will always hold a special place in my heart.

Thank you for your encouraging words, Heavy. I am rooting for you, too! smile

Love the 3 steps Bob. Unfortunately I had many in my M. I'm not out of the woods yet with them but have thrown myself into those exact 3 steps with vigor.

So far, I've gotten nothing but positive feedback from everyone including my W. Unfortunately for her (at least at the time) it was too little too late.

I'm not giving up and you're PMA is always something that I look forward to reading on here.

Have a great weekend Bob!

One thing hits me here.

Confusion = MLC

That seems very plain to me.

So this could be a very long ride.

Hang in there Bob!

Hello Cadet,

You know, the same thought crossed my mind. You may be spot on.

Thank you very much for checking in on my situation.

You are the best!
