I wonder what will happen when she dies. Me too! I suppose he could be married to the bar work. Or be emotionally divided between having a bar and doing his AA work. He might get to realize he has lots of free time and will miss you.
An off shoot, How does one run a bar and go to AA? I have some reservations about repairing printers at bars and casinos. Must be that old Southern Baptist (SB) training I had. I also see where the SB's were wrong and disagree with them.
Then again his property could be his new interest. I guess time will tell.
I drove over with the dogs to bring him some stuff and in the short time I was there, he already gave me that "what rock did you crawl out from under" reaction to something I said. Weird
Really? You were treated like you crewed out from under a rock? ((((Lil))))
No nonsense Lou asks, how much was you thinking this R is over romantically?
Two/three things come to mind. 1. BF's is taking care of mother,(look, see what a good boy I turned out to be. or Mom doesn't have long and I want to make her happy, or something else) for what ever reason. 2. Being neighbors is too close to feeling like he is advancing the R to be semi more concrete/long lasting form, but he doesn't want to go there, so he acts cool toward you. 3. Maybe he thinks “Good fences make good neighbors.”
I mean, in plenty of wealthy families, the grown children count on their parents' money and don't really have to look for work. Yea I "HEARD ABOUT" people like that. All I ever saw were people that worked even if the parents had $$$.
Does that create "dependence"? I don't know. It does if the receiver knows and respects where the butter $$$ comes from.
For the anarchist, or "I will show her" it doesn't.
Is his closeness to her normal filial devotion? In Confucian thought, filial piety (Chinese: 孝; pinyin: Xiŕo) is one of the virtues to be cultivated: a love and respect for one's parents and ancestors. What have any of the C you two saw said about the subject? I do think there is parental love there.
Lil, when I worked in the group-home, the boys had a difficult time asking for some things and for other things took or expected almost everyone to give what they wanted, to them w/o even so much as a thank you. Can bf ask for what he wants and accept it w/o felling shame/weird/like he is imposing? ( that is with you)?
About choosing between his mother or his girls, the girls win in my books. No question!
(She also told me that if I backed off, there would be someone else for me, initials "KG.") Aw shucks. But I would have been surprised/flustered it the initials were OG. JK! I sometimes wonder about enlightened advisors but quickly go back to my "prove it" line of thinking. Hi Chrom!
We are going to a friends for dinner, she takes in strays. No, she is someone with a big heart from church.
He said he'd call me when it was time to eat. Well, you did get invited back. I hope that goes well. Maybe he isn't a multi tasker and had to concentrate on making the meal and cant host and cook at the same time.
JK!
