That's so funny about your Mum and I'm sorry for yakking away and distracting you from finding her! I haven't seen the picture of piano man, but I'll have a look. I hope you're not swooning over it
When I asked H why he hadn't contacted me he didn't say anything (I guess he was feeling guilty or has been thinking). When I said I'd needed him, he said that he was always there for me and said I should have called him (I said I wasn't some stalker). Today he sent me an e-mail saying the same thing again and that he was sure I'd be OK. Good male behaviour that- minimising the problem. There was something different about him last night but it's hard to put my finger on what it was. I don't think it was related to anything I did though. He seemed vulnerable is the closest I can come to describing it. Although he was OK today- we exchanged a few brief e-mails about football. I'm pretty sure telling him I needed him and that I'm reaching my limit wasn't an effective DB strategy. I wouldn't recommend it in general But I would say that H knows everything that's going on and he's really the only person I can discuss it with. He knows that, MLC or not. All very cryptic isn't it? Sorry.
I love that book- Why men marry B*tches. I think I'm following the rules- not pursuing, not rewarding bad behaviour etc. I'm trying not to dwell on CEO not flirting too much. It's easier not to try and work out what's in their heads (H's or CEO's). Actually CEO goes through periods of flirting and then not flirting at all; February- lots of flirting. Then nothing until May/June when he was back on it again. Off again until late August. On until a couple of weeks ago. If past behaviour is a guide he'll flirt again at Christmas!
