Ditto, VJ, on all of the stuff you posted. Except that in my sitch I'm dealing with some serious issues involving his relationship with his kids and how it impacts our relationship. We have been dating a little over a year. I saw the red flags. I was too excited by the relationship to heed them. Be very careful. MY guy is all those great things you mentioned, too. Our troubles are crushing him. Needy. Yes. Clingy. yes. I hate the fact that all of this is hurting a very decent guy.

What is our alternative?

I can't remember exactly where you are but I know we are in the same general area. Wish we could meet for lunch.

I will pray that your job situation improves.

Hang in there, VJ and I will try to do the same.

Hugs,
Spitty

Always do right. This will gratify some people, and astonish the rest.
