Also, being here and watching him take care of his mom-- I gotta say, it is a beautiful thing. Watching him heat her food just so, coaxing her to eat something, and yet not hovering in an obnoxious way... it's heartwarming-- truly.
Lil, that sounds like what the (friends's younger brother that had gf's but never married) I mentioned earlier does.
He makes an almost perfect son. Does everything for his mother, but doesn't quite connect (no spark/chemistry) with women his age.
It's like getting your homework done a week ahead of time or turning in your taxes on April 1 or something That sounds wonderful.
I now how it feels when there is too much to do, too much to eat, and too many places to go all on one day.
"I've got some devotion left-- I gotta take care of my sweetie, too." WTG, wink, wink. You see, he isn't gay. Maybe like my friend, just doesn't get that chemical in love feeling with in himself.
but I'm not sure he's capable of that much naked intimacy with a peer woman. I suppose he doesn't know either while his mother is alive.
One book advised men to divorce their mother.
I was supporting my mother when I met BB. The connection and responsibility I felt I owed my mother did interfere with my R to BB at times, not often, but enough to cause some resentment in BB.
Women do something similar with their kids. Kids first, house second, H third. Gee maybe the pets are third in some cases.
Gratitude: BB and our daughter decided to do TG dinner. There was some grumbling that no one appreciated the work they put into dinner. I offered to do everything myself my way but it wasn't what they wanted, so they decided to have it again.
TG dinner today. BD 64 tomorrow. Car lot selling cars for 1/2 price tomorrow? Daughter and her H started MC. Lots to be thankful for.
