Ellie, great quote! I think you are doing great! Scratching eyes out...well a person of charactor must recognize when they are in the presence of one who would threaten thier well being. I personally will never forgive Og. He will forever be a selfish hurtful, evil person in my eyes. If W choses to stay with me she must accept that.
Not that I'm consumed with anger. I'm just recognizing a person who is a threat because of who they are and what motivates them.
Pretty minor backslide there. Thanks for checking on me.....Tim
Made me think...what if I were to meet the OW? It's highly unlikely as she lives thousands of miles away...but...
I probably would take the high road, perhaps say something like "So, we finally meet"...with my best psychologist looking at a real head case expression and tone of voice!
Nothin' makes crazy people more uncomfortable than thinking they're being assessed by a knowledgable shrink
Oh and about the hang-ups. They were driving me insane too, we finally got caller ID which helps some as at least I now know that the majority are telemarketers!
(In the light of day I know that's silly and very unlikely, but somehow when I'm half-asleep at night it seems to make perfect sense). I have sooooo been there!!! What is it about the imagination that invents a reality with exact details ! Did myself today- coworker comments that someone I dont know is sleeping with married men and I invent all kinds of innuendos that someone is telling me something and its my H!! Thanks God, I finally jsut asked a friend about and they said absolutely not- can you imagine if I had asked H about that??????????????can you say crazy... I am on at home!!!! Minor backslide - maybe too minor to even call it that I think. You are Ok in not trusting completely- he has to earn some of it back. Wish I could surf! Shay
Good morning all H called me from work to tell me he loves me and how proud he is of me (my training to climb Mt. Whitney). I think my surfboard will be ready today (in for some minor ding repair) My SIL is coming to visit tomorrow Today is day seven of my seven days in a row hiking schedule and I can still walk Life is good here. Ellie
Hey surfer girl, thanks for stopping in on me- kind of crazy huh? Hey I told my H about having some buddies on the website and he was interested in it. Not ready for him to check up on me though, but I specifically told about you since you are so cool, mt Mckinley, surfing etc I love your relentless commitment to training for the climb! What do you think about my H finding me on here? Shay
Hi Shay - I was out hiking today and the guys from the electric company who were out working stopped me and asked me what I was training for. They were impressed!
As for H on the boards - you remember when my H read my threads - I think it is a little difficult for our Ses to understand some of the black humor that goes on here, and I think unless you really read a lot and came to understand it you might mistake DBing for manipulation. If there are specific things you'd like him to read, print them off for him to read. Ellie
As long as we learn from our mistakes we win. You're doing great, we all know how hard it is to focus. Sounds like you need an off the wall response for those hangups. "damn mimes calling looking for real glass." From what I have read you are Miss Confidence 2003.
