Joie, I just wanted to welcome you.

I, too, am waiting to see if H 'picks' me. Its a lovely feeling, isn't it? I feel like a consolation prize, a part of the deal that happens to come with his 2 kids. No one deserves to feel that way.

My H is the same way, very independent. In fact, I think he is proud of me, GAL lately. But I don't let it stop me, because I am learning to enjoy it, and become more outgoing.

Hope your stay here is short, but I am glad you found this place, its saved me.
