Your post pretty well summed up the whole situation.
"The all seeing, all knowing Bworl will now tell all."
I backslid. I allowed myself to be hurt. I didn't want to be hurt anymore so I avoided her. I had a gut feeling what I was doing was counterproductive to my goal and that's why I asked for advice yesterday. Yes, I still love her.
I think it's OK now. She called me last night and I returned her calls. Then I called her late last night and offered to keep the kids today so she could work. She had not made arrangements and was grateful I offered. She got angry, but who knows? Maybe my inaccesability made her think about loosing me completely.
I made today's contacts with her positive. I took good care of her, our kids and her animals as a small atmospheric disturbance named Ike passed by. I anticipated her needs and satisfied them.
Back to being the better man.
"The answers are within you" (can't remember who). Unfortunately, so is the bullshit.
