Thanks Andrea,

I think you are right, her invite shows that Monkey really did tell her that he's moving back in with me, in my town.

So, something I want to journal.

Saturday, I tried to call Monkey to tell him not to bring bike because I hurt my toe.

I called his work, but they said he had the day off. He'd told me Friday that he'd be working.

I was upset, felt like he'd lied to me.

I called him that night and told him I was upset, felt like he'd lied. He told me he hadn't lied, explained that he'd worked extra hours friday so that he could take saturday off, but that he was supposed to work saturday. Then he asked me what he could do to make me feel better. And he asked if I still wanted him to come for our date sunday.

I told him I didn't know what he could do to make me feel better, but that I still wanted him to come visit and that I had worked hard making his lasagna even though I was upset.

Sunday, during our date, he asked to see my toe and then showed me his hurt toe. He then told me that he was sorry I had gotten so upset. That he wouldn't lie to me because that would ruin our attempts at our new marriage. And he got all teary eyed when he said that.

He was sitting in the lazyboy and I was on the floor, so I kneeled up and hugged him.

So, I can see that he's really trying. And I told him that part of the reason I was so upset was because I couldn't get in touch with him when I was upset.

It blows me away that he's getting teary eyed so often.

He used to never allow me to see him emotionally vulnerable.

And the things he's gotten teary eyed about show that he's scared of losing me...or perhaps realizing how close he came?

Dunno. But I feel humbled and flattered.

From what I understand of DBing, I shouldn't have said anything about being upset about him lying..but was afraid if I didn't, I'd be a miserable date.

So, I think the results were good, but y'all can smack me with a 2 x 4 if I really deserve it!

Hugs all.
