Eclipse...

[Jimbo]

Howdy all,

I hope everybody's holiday weekend was good. Mine was...strange.

I was driving home from work on Friday evening, and I was feeling particularly impatient with the way things are going with my M and my DBing. No contact, no communication...no answers. I had a talk with the Universe, and I demanded a sign.

Was my demand met? You be the judge.

Be careful what you wish for.....

I made a phonecall to a friend of mine who lives in southern Virginia on Saturday who I hadn't talked to in ages who knows my sitch enough to know that I'm in the process of being D. I didn't bring up the topic, nor did he. Yet, seemingly out of nowhere, like some strange abrupt segue, my friend asks me out of the blue, "So what do you do on Sundays?".....I had a moment of confusion- he asked me the same question that my W has been asking almost every time we have met face-to-face. I followed up with a non-specific answer out of habit because that's what I do with my W when she asks, so that I can try to maintain some mystery. I chalked it up to coincidence, since it was highly unlikely that she has had any contact with him lately.

But we all know that there is no such thing as coincidence, right?

Fast forward to Sunday morning. I am sitting in my car after having Sunday breakfast with my family, and I am feeling particularly unmotivated to do ANYTHING. I don't want to go out, yet I don't want to sit at home. Or be with people, or be alone. I am totally at a loss for what I want to do. So, on a lark, I decide to get on the road and drive. Several hours later, I find myself in Hampton Roads, visiting with a different friend who knows a little more about my sitch, having been through 2 Ds caused by MLC. We spend the better part of the day together, and I get him caught up on my sitch. We go out to dinner, drive around a little, then come back to his place and get on the internet to look at a website I told him about. Out of nowhere, and with NO prompting on my part whatsoever, he goes over to Facebook and looks for my Ws friends. The last time I had checked my Ws friends (when W was trying to make me make contact with a mutual friend of ours from college. W told me I had to do it through Facebook- I think she was trying to figure out a way of spying on me through her.), my W had one friend- the mutual friend from college. This time around though, she had 5 friends- and all of them were friends from my past that I had introduced her to pre-MLC. Only one of them was a non-mutual friend. (Her BFF she has coffee dates with who I met once). And, lo and behold,.....

There was the profile for my friend I spoke with on Saturday.

No wonder the question sounded like it came from my W. It probably did!
