I hear you. I do realize intellectually that witholding my feelings and POV is a bad thing for the R, its just hard to break through the emotional barriers (part FOO, part prior R). But I also know that doing so is what eventually set the stage for my A, and that is not a place I want to go back to.
Yah gotta do what yah gotta do. I'll keep saying that to myself as I dive in.
I will say that we had an interesting interplay tonight. I was rather bummed out because a fellow prof had bumped me from a grant proposal b/c of lack of funds. Frankly, I was thinking about backing out of it anyway b/c of lack of time, but it still had me bummed. I mentioned it to the W and she gave some flippant response, and I went into "she doesn't care about me" mode. But then the phone rang, and while I was distracted talking on the phone, she can up and pinched me on the a$$ ... hard ... and then ran off giggling and saying "I know you like that." Women ... they are evil.
