Hi Bill,
Thanks so much for your reply. I guess I was thinking he read the book, took it as pursuing & now I pushed him away even more. I realize I'm projecting my fears without really knowing, but every time he wants to talk, it's always bad news. You are right of course. I am trying to get a life but still have work to do on that. Thank you again for the encouragement - I will keep remembering it. I hope your situation works out, you have a great deal of insight into this world - & a great attitude. I'm gonna keep working on GAL!
