Just keep swimming...PH #5

Again, words are mostly from Gucci so let's give credit where credit is due.

Here's where I'm really frustrated. If he's serious about what he says, why isn't he doing anything about it? He could have left flowers with the letter or send them to me. He knows I love them and has sent them on many occasions.

Or he could invite me out to dinner instead of that lame "email me if you want to chat" line.

Or he could have worked on the gardening while I was gone.

Also, as a typical male, I'd like to see exactly WHAT he plans to do to rectify the situation, but I would say that if he is where he says he is, he is probably at a complete loss as to what to do.

JD, do you really think he has no idea what to do or is he just waiting for a signal from me that I'm willing to take him back before he starts the hard work so he's not wasting any effort? I feel like it's the latter and it pisses me off.

In one of my new favorite songs, Mr. Lonely Man, the title character is looking in the mirror asking for help getting his girl back after she left. He says:

We gotta pull ourselves together
Gotta make some kind of plan
Show her that you love her
Gotta be that kind of man
Come on back
Gotta get her home some way

That's what I want, a man who realizes that he has to show his love and be a better man. But I guess the song also points out that he doesn't know exactly how to do this. Well, if he can't figure it out he's not trying hard enough. It's not that difficult to at least make an attempt!
