Is the answer blowing in the wind?

Thanks for checking in ANewAmy. That's a surprise that I-5 is already opened- yesterday they said 4-5 days. My drive last night was a over 4 hours (as opposed to the other pass which would be 2.5hrs.) TONS of trucks on the road.

You deserve much more than he is capable of giving you right now. You need to back away, let him pursue you, woo you. YOU are the prize to be won here, not the other way around.

When he was 'taking care of me', I did feel prized, treasured. I had wandered around the clothing section and nothing popped out at me. I was feeling sick and cranky and he comes up with a cart and asks if I found anything to which I said "No. There's nothing to wear here and I'm mad." He said "Oh 'nickname', I'll find you something. You need to feel comfy." And he did find something for me. And picked up lotion to rub my feet...

THAT is the problem, right there. He DOES make me feel special and woo'd, on occassion. When I was laying next to him snuggled up into his arm pit (you know what I mean), and he was looking down at me, I could *see* that he loves me. When he goes ga-ga over something I created; when he brags about how smart (or whatever) I am; when he reaches for my hand while we're driving somewhere; when he brushes the hair away from my face... all these things make me feel loved. It's the other crap that confuses things.
