One Last Pull for this Knot to Break

[sleeper]

Breton,

Men and women are different. If we weren't we could just fall in love with ourselves.

I don't plan on being at her "beck and call." I just need to be there for her (and my kids) when she/they need me. No one has ever been there for her on a consistant basis, including OM.

I went and picked up kids from X tonight because she has no power. I told her she should go to OM's because he has power. She said, "I'm going to bed." OM came to the house (he lives a few blocks away and pops up like an unexpected pimple at times). As we were leaving I said, "You guys have fun" to her. She said, "He's not staying here tonight, I'm looking forward to a night of solitude" (she sounded resolved).

Later she called me to see if we made it home OK. We talked about getting the kids to church tomorrow as this has thrown off our regular schedule. I told her I would keep the kids tomorrow night too. She asked "why?" I told her so she could have a mental break as she told me she was stressed yesterday and I know she was stressed today.

If she doesn't see what is right before her she is a fool and so am I.

I don't think she is a fool.
