BTW, right after I used the expression, it's like there is a little devil on my shoulder (thanks CVA!), W piped in "we all have a little devil on our shoulders." I wonder what she meant by this. Maybe she was trying to make me feel better, and nothing more than that, but in hindsight I am wondering if she means she is tempted to go with OM, or to hurt me, or to just throw in the towel and quit/leave, or do something she ? Any thoughts? Who knows, really, besides W?
Dunno why, but this bit stuck out to me. We all have our good and bad sides, don't overthink a comment like this. I bring it up, because in the past the OM has been a huge weight on your mind and, if my W made this sort of comment to me in the midst of a conversation about an OM, my mind would go nuts. Take it for what it is, almost certainly a comment that we all have good and bad impulses. (Plus, commenting on this allows me to bring up my favorite, and first, R rated movie of all time -- Animal House. Everytime I see either you or CVA use the devil on the shoulder bit, I think of the toga party scene in the movie.)
Anyway, I think trusting your gut on the phonecall can be huge in the future for you. It strikes me as a 180 on your part -- "I'm Nomo, I've always been independent, yet I'm admitting to you, my lovely W, that I do need to hear ILY/feel love more."
Great, great stuff.
