(((Tim))) Thanks for the kind words. You are a generous man & I'll say it again.. I'm blessed for having you in my virtual life!
Thinker- Thanks for your perspective. I can see that in my H too. Do you take it as rejection when she tells you she wants Mexican instead of Italian for supper? Is there anyway for me to say, "I need alone time" so that he thinks he is supporting me instead of feeling rejected by me?
(((Lodo))) I always enjoy your perspective.. you are right. I'm only closing doors on fears & old hurts.
Who would I be if I wasn't fearful of these things? More confident, more self-assured, more at peace... all things i want.
Nothing I'm doing is permanent (except leaving my little blue house that has become my 'sanctuary' over the past 2 years & it's just a house). My new sanctuary is inside me (most days).
If I say yes, I'm on break the entire week after they want an answer... that might be an ideal time to take D for a trip with an eye to living there. I have been there before, but the last time was only the time with an eye towards being there as a resident. Good advice.
Peace to all Hugs to those who want them Bridge
Thanks for your two cents.. always welcomed.
