The Dark Man cometh...

[Jimbo]

Ah, Mach. (Or should I say "Rock"?)

Good to hear from ya. I hope you're doing better- I really didn't want to get you caught up in MY madness right now, but I'm glad you chimed in.

Yes, I was spinning- big time. And I had a HUGE revelation because of it.

What dots are you seeing right now?

Funny you should ask that! I think this little spin of mine might have been a blessing in disguise- during the time that I was spinning on her, us, our sitch, the way she's been acting, etc. etc. etc, I was blessed with a mental vision where all the dots connected for one shining instant: in my mind's eye, I got an ever so brief first-person glimpse into what it must be like to be in her shoes right now....

She's on a mission, and I'm in the way.

And our marriage is in the way.

She wants to break free of her old self and anything that she perceives as trying to keep her in that role. Guess who's target #1?

Old hum-drum, boring Jimbo. WHY ON EARTH would I want to be tied down to THAT guy for the rest of my life? That's a DEATH SENTENCE! I have to get away- to express MY identity, to get what I want out of MY LIFE! And HE'S HOLDING ME BACK!!!! AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ABSOLUTELY MUST GET AWAY AT ALL COSTS!!!!!!!!!!!! Screw him if he thinks I'm gonna hang around with him, going absolutely nowhere!!! I'M OUTTA HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And when the time is right for her? She will respond to you whether or not you asked her not to. When she misses that Masonry hat that you have, she'll be around. Not to make light of this, but it will happen when it is time to happen.

This vision was so real to me that it gives me a whole new appreciation from her perspective of how to approach this whole thing, and it explains A LOT of her behaviors and things she has said in the past- but it's a gameplan that will take a lot of faith, and it's not for the squeamish. I need to think on this for a little while. It's pretty radical.

All of this Tax stuff is a memory creeping in her head. One of which she probably feels guilty for leaving you with. Relax bro...and get off the wheel.......

All true, bro...thanks for the wake up call.

I hear they have really good coffee in SouthEast VA....Is this true?

Not only is there really good coffee in SouthEast VA, I know for a fact that there is an absolutely awesome steak house in the Norfolk/VA Beach area! Voted best steak in the area for at least 20 years straight, I understand...
