Hardly faking it anymore: Puddle's third thread

[Heimlich]

Um, yeah, what ST said, this guy is interested in you (don't forget about me and CVA, sniff, sniff). You sound great, but just be careful. I know you're somewhat disgusted with your H right now, but don't do something you'll regret (whatever that might be for you. I danced a lot, if I can recall, with some chick in a devil costume. I ain't judging.)

Before he left he told me 7-year-old had done some crazy stuff: thrown this "fake snow" plastic stuff all over the front yard, lit some papers on fire on the stove and carried them to the sink, and who knows what else.

You know this, but watch your son closely. He may be trying to get attention from BOTH of you. While your H is instigating all of these changes, your son might not see it that way. Give him some TLC. FWIW, my oldest lit a box of matches on the kitchen floor when she was 4ish. It could also just be boredom rather than a cry for help. Hard line to walk between being sensitive to any pain the kids might be feeling versus normal, stupid kid stuff.

I like your dream interpretion. Next time, YOU'RE driving, baby! You control this crazy ride, not anyone else.

Good for you on going to the old hangout. Also good to see that you're interested in living rather than commenting on life.

Regarding apologizing to H. Why? It's quite likely he forgot. He should apologize to you, or at least it's equally likely that he forgot to tell you as you forgetting. You handled it nicely, but, in my mind, were under no obligation to do so.
