Positive developments? #2

[Goodfight]

Hope you have fun. Let me know how it goes. Oh and Jon, thanks so much for your support on my thread. I just updated it again.

Thanks Michelle!
Things are great out here. Haven't done this in 7-8 years, and it brings back great memories. It's only 45 minutes from my house, and my old college roommate is the director. I think this is the start of a lot of good times.

Here's a Dallas Morning News article about what we're doing this week:

Hey Jon, just wanted to stop by. I havent caught up completely on your thread so forgive me if I missed something, but, it seems to me that your wife wants to be the one that does the contacting, so let her, ya know?

Hey BM,
I have gone a bit dark, but I wonder if it's really LRT time yet. W has definitely pulled back lately, but she's also feeling really bad, so I wonder if I should call her more?

Got a couple e-mails from W last night. She found an iPhone app that details AAA discounts close to your location. She doesn't even have an iPhone! We bought a AAA membership together a couple months ago. Very cool, and I really thanked her for that. Maybe I need to create more connections like that?

That was very nice of her.

What's the pattern - she withdraws when she has migraines? Has contacting her worked in the past? Try and notice the patterns, think about what has worked, and keep trying new stuff.

Need to do some thinking on that, Michelle. My sitch is bewildering, but I"m having too much fun at camp to think about it

Jon,

Are you home yet from camp? How was it?

Lost,
I'm back from week #2, week #3 is next week! Loving it. Made so many friends and renewed other old friendships. Also got to go to a church media conference the last couple days, made a lot more connections. My brother came in for it and we had a blast. I made a lot of connections for my part-time job, and I'm really starting to get excited because it could turn in to full-time.

So, a really great last couple weeks. Last night, a text from W "you alive?"

I responded "yep! How are you?"

W: "OK just checking"

This kind of exchange is really starting to piss me off. It comes across so condescending, like she's assuming I won't be OK on my own. If this is the only contact I get (which it has been lately), screw that. Oh well, just need to keep staying busy.

[MichelleLT]

Have you not been contacting her?

What's the pattern?

Take it as a positive that she's reaching out at all!

And keep reacting in an upbeat way!

Michelle,
Thanks, I guess that is a small positive. I've been letting her contact me, and it's mostly about business stuff or contact like the above. After camp next week I'll need some help on adjusting strategy, if needed.
