Me explaining where my thoughts were coming from, was more like "here is where I have been/thought/felt and I wanted to share my situation at the time, with you.
I have my trigger list. If event A, B, C, etc. happens, my St Bernard/cow is looking out for me, not BB, partly because the store house doesn't have reserves for anyone else and partly because what things I have been providing for BB don't seem to be in an appreciable form. So why not use what is remaining in my warehouse for my recovery.
I also know what I have to offer BB, sometimes isn’t what BB wants.
Your ankle break closed your storehouse/distribution center and caused you to become the recipient of good deeds. When you couldn’t work and evaluated what you saw, R wise, who was doing what, you saw how your employees were interested in other things, other than your business, your happiness.
When bf's mom dies, I don't expect him to pay any more attention to me. Like most 7's he has a list of projects he's working on. It will take him forever to clear out his mom's house. In that case, he will have pleanty to keep him busy if and when you have new romantic interests.
My 72 yr old never M friend likes women but would never obligat himself to one. Maybe that is the way your bf thinks?
