As far as her wondering about your self-respect, she isn't really thinking in terms like that.
That's what my gut has been telling me and that's sure what it feels like. So she is perceiving me as kind of a new single prospect?
We have not in many many years had such a just plain fun, close, and carefree conversation as we did that night at the bar. What was shocking to me was how it showed by contrast how deadlocked we had gotten in our M. Our conversations in our M had gotten so practical, discussing various issues about our life, house, kids, etc. I could feel a subtle bad vibe in our interactions back then, like we were just so bored, so frustrated, so defeated. That feeling was gone the other night. It felt much more like back when we were dating, and we were just enjoying each other's company.
