Thank you. I purposely did it that way. Man, I thought and thought. I could have gone either way. Just go off on her or do it in a way that was.....I don't know. Just seemed better. You see how the rest of the day went.

Before I left my folks house, I even wrote down the bullet points for myself. I didn't want to get there and let my emotions fly.

-Thank her for cleaning up the house.
-Tell her about Thursday.
-OM

Total set up. Soft heart, let her make a decision, and then be a strong man. Then move on. I'm sure I helped her more than I should have, but I was in control the whole time.

Feels stupid that I have to think things through first. You know, it not being instinct. Maybe over time.

Felt good. As much as I wanted to stay, and I really did, I left. The FIRST thing that came to mind was James \:\) How his wife was always inviting him over, spend the night, so on and on.

As far as D11, I had that convo with her a few months ago. I will always tell her the truth. Like I was giving her the ok to ask me. I was not going to tell her with out her asking first. I really do think she understands.
