It sounds like your trip to Houston was fun and a success!
I agree that the work "on myself" during and post D is paying off. What a good thing!
You said:I am curious to see how I will react to a more intimate R - after all that will dig into areas of my self esteem that have not been tested lately. I guess we will find out when it happens.
I am going through that now w/ CG. It is curious, and good to remain detached. All those tried and true DB principals come into play. But it is good.
Wishing the best for you! Take care, SG
My trip to Houston saved my sanity! It was a success! I use to post about how I was behind and I kept circling and procrastinating. After my seminar/vacation, I ploughed through it all and am finally "nervous tummy ache" free again!
I followed your posts about CG - and you really do sound so detached. I think a big part of it is that you have such a full life and good friends in your life. CG being a disappointment was just that a disappointment b/c all the other parts of your life are going so well!
I am finally ready to have a little "fun" exploring non-platonic, not so safe R's. I guess I need to set some goals to get out of my house. Clearly waiting for someone to drop down my chimney is not working!
