Hi Jack! How was jury duty? All finished now? Yep, I'm starting back at the beginning. It's like starting over but with knowledge of what to do as well. So it should be good!
Ali, I didn't take offense to the word "needy". I just don't like that word because I picture some sappy hopeless negative person living life for H/W instead of themselves. I'm living life as well but just don't post much about outside life here. Maybe I should?
About the talk. It was to be an R talk, or a talk "to talk about everything. Depending on what we both say will tell us where to go from here I guess." H's words. However, that never happened. He didn't set it up and I never heard from him. D and I went out as usual on Friday and then went to a spaghetti dinner yesterday and had a good time. Then today I was out with the dog and H calls. H wants to know if he can see D for a few hours. Tells me he's sorry about everything he's ever done to hurt me and never meant to and that he's a jerk for it all. He said he's going to talk to his parents after visit with D to see if he can move back in with them instead of staying with his friend in the city. He wouldn't get into detail but said he "needs to get away from the bullsh*t there". That's means he'll be living 4 blocks from us then. Maybe we'll hear from him more often. He said he's VERY depressed and needs to talk to his parents first to get some things going before anything else. He said when he moved out from our house, he said "this is what's best for everyone" and that obviously isn't true and he was being a big jerk. Soooo, that's where I'm left. Same ol', same ol'. I'm taking this talk as a good baby step since he opened up to me. I've got to start practicing listening and validating.
