Welcome back to "Piecing" PnT ... and there seems to be a good feeling it will be for good this time! Sorry it took a while to drop in and I haven't quite caught up yet on up to posting made by noon today, but have to go soon so I wanted to make a couple of quick comments. Oh, I honored that you referred to me a being a help during "one" of those moments!

You know, I've seen mention of it several times thru out your threads, but it didn't strike me until now ... the references to my / your towns. H moving from his town to get a job in your town. I can't help but feel he is intimidate by this to some degree. Is the store he works at a chain where they might have a store in the neighboring town ... north, south east or west of your town. Would it be possible that you both can move there and make it "our" town? Just a thought.

Also about addressing EA, I think it is something that will need to be done when the time is appropriate and the that time is when he is comfortable having the discussion of each person being 100% responsible for their 50% of the R. I don't quite think he is there yet, but if he's reading DR, then its just a matter of time before he lets you know he is ready to handle having that discussion.

Will catch up with the rest soon...

'til later,
KAW
