The View From the Bottom

[hopefloats7]

Puppy and kitty are doing very well, thank you. It was nice of you to mention them!

Oh, I know you were not suggesting I sit and wait; didn't mean to imply that at all. I just wanted to express that I do not wish to live the rest of my life alone, on the off-chance that H maybe gets his act together and grows up years from now. That is why I remain open-minded about other possibilities, and I would not turn down a chance for happiness. But...it took me a while to get to that point, too. [new posters: don't try this at home]

I should also mention to our new friends here this this is not the kind of conversation you can plan to have with your husband/wife early on in the crisis. It has to come from them, on their own time, because if you try to force them to talk when they are still running around like aliens, you will only cause more harm to the situation. Trust me; I burned my hand plenty of times.

Thank you, snodderly, for your posts. I appreciate them very much as always.
