Maybe you are having a late Quarter Life Crisis then lol.

The important thing is to have a balance in everything. Balance being selfish and generous. Balance saving and spending. Balance work and pleasure.

I am glad you recognize this. The next step is thinking about it and choosing not to say it lol.

Doesn't mean she won't change her mind. Doesn't mean she isn't having doubts. ALL it means is that her doubts aren't strong enough for her to stay RIGHT NOW.

Why does she feel this way? Did you ask her to explain and validate? She appears uncomfortable with the money you are spending on things like your tattoo. Which is a valid concern in a R/M, although less of one when you are S lol. Make sure to acknowledge her concerns, tell her you won't leave her hanging, that you are not going to make things difficult for her.

You would have every right to be hurt if she did go on a date. Just like she is entitled to her feelings, you are entitled to yours. However, you ARE S, so while you may not think it's okay to date, just keep in mind that she might have a different opinion.

(((Sawks)))

Just remember there is a thin line between love and hate. If an individual hates a person, it is because they still have feelings for them. It is apathy that is a danger. So she may hate you right now, but just keep doing what you are doing.


Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..

I am trying to balance these things, she asked why did i open a new account so she wouldn't see what i was spending? I told her, and was honest all i have spent is the 390 plus my tattoo, an occasional coffee..

She is worried i will do like in the past and just get things i want NOW.. i reassured her i don't do the impulsive things anymore.

You would have every right to be hurt if she did go on a date. Just like she is entitled to her feelings, you are entitled to yours. However, you ARE S, so while you may not think it's okay to date, just keep in mind that she might have a different opinion.


I don't think she will date.. i know she told me if i decide to go on a date, noone comes in the house..

She also mentioned if i do a response affadavit it will delay things, i acknowledged that

i will copy a short version of her email shortly

Means nothing more than she is sorting through her emotions and feeling them.

DBing is about the FUTURE, not the PRESENT.

Remember:

Yesterday is history
tomorrow is a mystery
today is a gift thats why they call it the present

You cannot change the past, and you don't know what tomorrow will bring. All you can do is live for today. You notice on here that whenever we start to do well, inevitably the S gets angry, jealous, and wonders why...why now? Those feelings do fade, and they begin to see that you are the person that they fell in love with!

(((Sawks))) you are doing great. Don't let the man get you down...

Lol.

Time will tell. Live for now and in now. Be the best person you can be. Be the guy she fell in love with. And then, give it TIME. LOTS of it.
