I want my Monkey and Sheep Back

[beepee]

Jeff,

I don't know why, but this post of yours has brought me great comfort - even though you mention 2 months as getting warmed up, a small possibility that anything good might happen, and that it could take a year (possibly even more). That should bring me down! But it actually doesn't.

He is going to have to get through a lot of resentment, and right now everything bad in his life is your fault. (To him, not reality.) With a male ego, it is going to take a good long time if he chooses to let that go.

He's got a big Irish male ego!! (no offense to anyone here who is Irish) Everything he does is right and I'm not sure that he's going to let that go..I sure hope he does because I do want him to be happy in life and he shouldn't let his ego get in the way of having a loving relationship.

And of course, we know that you have a little work to do on yourself.

What are you talking about Jeff? A LITTLE? I have much more than a little work to do, I've got boxes upon boxes of flaws that needs to be worked on.

I agree that this time apart is a gift. I've always believed that since the day he left because I knew that if he never left me, that I would stay in the depressed state I was in and never work on making myself better. I'm very glad that I've been given this chance to make things better for myself. I really needed that kick in the face in order to get crackin!
