I do notice that Lola. You're exactly right. Thanks for the hugs and the compliment. Sometimes a little reassurance is nice.
She sent me a text and asked me if I could call her. (odd again right?) I didn't get it right away, and then when I saw it, it took me a few minutes to make the call, but I did.
She is super stressed and wanted to talk to me. She was driving back home to drop off her car and then heading to her sisters. He was following her. There were ups and downs in the convo as always. She wanted to vent about him. She didn't really open up a lot at first. I told her I could tell she was stressed, but I didn't know what I could ask her. She told me it was guy problems, and then finally told me what it was. It was several things. Of course there's the sexual issues, and that he doesn't touch her at all. She said he's very self concience about his body and has made comments about when they go out, he get's the look from people. Like "Why is she with him kinda look." She asked me if I ever thought people did that to me. I told her that she know's how I am... I pretty much just go along without thinking about what other people think. There was a lot of other little things too that she wanted to vent about, and I listened. She said she didn't know who to talk to, and so she wanted to talk to me.
Some of the downs were her talking about him, and her stress, but not really making comments that she was having second thoughts about me. She talked like she wanted to date around if it didn't work out with him, but as usuall, she contradicted herself by making a few other comments.
Some of the ups were that she told me she was frustrated last night, and ran to starbucks. That's when she text me. She said she was checking in...and shouldn't, but she wanted to. (contradicts her attitude from the downs). She said her mother had given her two books to read. One was the five languages of love. She was surprised when I said I had read it and knew the author. The other was something about how to not have an affair during your marriage. She said, "#1, move away from (me)." I just laughed at that.
That was about it. I told her about my dad trying to set me up with that girl. She gave me a hard time about that a bit. It was all lighhearted. I told her that if she needed to talk, she could call me or something. She said something about it being something I didn't want to hear. I told her that I was always around to listen. She said she knew.
