Thanks so much for your thoughtful posts. I really love hearing from you guys.
Ali, no worries re: hijacking, that wasn't even close to a hijack! Thanks also for feeling cross about it--I feel backed up by you, and appreciate your caring about me. I don't think W. is into dating younger guys...my guess is actually that she will go for someone a bit older than she is. I think she has a thing for father figures and I'm not sure I was really that way for her because I preferred an egalitarian kind of R.
lodo, good for you for catching up on stuff. I've alternated this week between getting things done, then languishing and procrastinating all over the place. Just don't feel like working! At least it's Friday. I was looking for your thread but couldn't see any new ones for you, so I'm wondering what happened with the "turns" you are talking about in your sitch? I like your idea about the creativity date...helps to re-identify what my likes / dislikes are. I'm thrilled for you about the Scotland trip, this has been something you've had coming up for a good while now. Have an amazing trip and I look forward to hearing about it on your thread when you get back.
NG, thanks for the detailed explanation about the MLC stuff...I don't think my W. has been experiencing depressed symptoms, not overtly anyway. But Upside, it may be more like you are describing, I mean obviously something was not feeling okay for her to suddenly up and leave.
I'm feeling a little better overall moodwise, not quite as down in the place of despair from a couple of weeks back. Went out for a drink with a guy friend last night and it was really nice.
lodo, thanks for remembering the Friday thing...yeah, not too excited about going home tonight, but oh well.
OD, I had a good visit with my folks last weekend. On the trip back, this girl came over and sat next to me and we talked for an hour...I did a 180 (for Purr, normally being pretty shy) and asked her out for a drink. She said yes. Well, I'm finding it hard to be interested in others when I still feel very attached to my W. but there you go.
