I have been travelling this week and just now catching up on things..... Before I left, W told me to call anytime.....since old habits are hard to break, I deciided to call (left a message) when I got to the hotel and settled in. She called back several minutes later and we had a nice chat....kind of weird. Almost like old times minus the ILYs. Anyhow yesterday morning D7 called to wake me up....that was nice. I did not ask to speak to mom although I heard her in the background....I guess my DBing kicked in. I remember roughly a year ago on my FLA. golf trip that W really had a tough time. Oddly enough I have a hunch she is struggling again....she made her bed.... I was out for supper last night with a colleague and he began to speak about his W. You know the usual guy talk....well maybe not ususal....he is not happy. I just did not have the same perspective as I used to. The only words of advice that I could muster up were we all need to find a balance and sometimes we do not know what we have until it is gone....he must of thought I was a pansy.
How could anyone think you're a pansy (peonies excepted but they're not known for their brain power)? I think most folks view their marriages like they do life as a seventeen year old.. immortal.. and think it will last forever just 'cuz.
I see older couples sitting together and wonder how they did it, do it? Companionship has a lot to do with it.
As far as I can tell you're great with a deep soul, incredible sense of humor, a little stinky from all the stoogies and a very good guy... definite babe magnet.
Thanks for the nice words Gypsy... I would like to say that you are very perceptive but that would be out of character for me.
I need to start believing what you wrote (minus the smelly part)...inevitably, I think we LBS loose a little confidence due to post bomb trauma. I need to constantly check on my PMA....and your little note surely helps to kick off the day.
W called me last night from her car with D7. They had no real reason to. She tried to reach me at the Hotel and then sent me an e-mail asking to call her. Who knows, maybe she misses me....actually I am sure she does (not in a get back together way) but this trip probably brings her back to the pre bomb days a little. I remeber roughly a year ago she was really struggling when I left for 10 days to FLA. I don't think it is the same this year..... I have to admit the contact (e-mail / phone) this week has been almost like old times. It has been a long time since I have not been on a business trip. It will be weird to land at the airport and not rush home to see my W and D7. It will probably be weird for her as well.
Hello all... Just a small bit of journaling as I spend the weekend with D7. W called earlier to chat briefly with D7 and me. She seems a little under the weather but in good spirits.....ery friendly. That is all for now...a little golf tommorow followed by a stinky stogie with the boys at the track....and to top it all off a nice hockey game in the evening. Happy thanksgiving to all my Canadian buddies and I believe it is Columbus day tommorow in the US also. Be safe.
I am not confused K....just have noticed a change in the last couple of weeks. Don't forget my radar has seen these signals before but the signals do get scrambled sometimes. The fact that I was out of town always has that affect on her...looks like I will be travelling week after next again and then to FLA. the week after that. the radr should be receiving plenty of signals.
