Take 2:

I get a very strong inkling that I unintentionally hurt your feelings very badly when we were talking about finances. That inkling came up again reading your last SMS. I want to make sure you understand what I was trying to say. I was not including you as an "expense". I was trying to discuss our home budget. If I hurt your feelings with my crappy verbal skills, I sincerely apologise.

Wish I could add...

"So knock that one off the list of things about me that annoy you" wink

I'd also like to add that the family budget is sufficient to run our home comfortably, and the family in it.

But I won't.

Just heard the "friend" hit's the big 50 early next month.

So now the W has a full set (except me)

Living with a 50 year old. No money. Stuck at home.

Ahhh bugger.

Comments about the text Coach?
Send it as is? Modify? Add? Subtract? Fine tune?

No real rush - only going to send it Monday. Or Tuesday.

HI Mac

Stuff just seems to keep happening each day, some good, some downright confusing, I guess it makes life interesting at the moment.

Your disco that is being organised sounds like fun. I went to an Eagles tribute band show a couple of weeks ago and had the best time. Lots of dancing great fun. It is amazing what things like that can do in lifting your mood 100%.

I'm not sure how you would word it when asking your W to go but it needs to be very casual, almost giving her the idea to ask if she could come, getting her interest up in the event.

Hope you have had a good day.

Will check in again as soon as I can, H hangs around me a bit more now, which makes it darn hard to come online and check out what is happening.

Talk soon

Oz

Wonderful evening guys!

Just been GAL'ing with best friends of ours. Their S was one on Wednesday - and he had ANOTHER 1 today with the rest of the family. More smiles on the little one's face.

Hope everything is going as well with you.

Gonna get some shut eye - had to work this morning frown

Sweet dreams (eventually).

Hey Mac

Hope you have a good night and get some quality sleep. It is hard these days to get a good nights rest.

Glad you had great evening.

Oz

Good morning one and all,

For some reason I had a tramp over to MLC and saw this.

All I can say is wow!

The op is most likely just like them...seeking someone to feed off of. Euphoria plays a major role in the lusting relationship that they have, true love is very, very different from the endorphins pulsating a high rate of speed. Think about it...young love or puppy love, people go out of their way to impress the op and will do or say anything for that special attention. Control? Yes, the op person uses that euphoria to get what they want. When the endorphins settle down, that's when the curtain on this show goes down, lights come up and the real relationship begins w/all of the warts and scars showing.


Do not worry about the control issue, it will crack some day when and if they come to their senses and they see the light of day once more.


Catch u later.

Hugs to the "girls" you know who you both are smile

Gee whiz - this just back for the Alien....

I sent this to the guys last night...

"X, x thanks for a great night. Helped me take my mind off things. Tell x he's a great braai monster :-). The girls loved the snoek and so did I. See u tomorrow. Thanks again. Appreciated. Mac."

Looks like I sent to the next number up on my phone book because this came back from W.....

"Sorry wrong number."

And she replied from the bottom of the black hole. Ow - that hurt wink

I'll send an apology later. Or not.

Hi Mac

If you reply just do it with very few words "sorry about that" but I certainly wouldn't offer reasons or anything. But I could be wrong here as I seem to have developed a case of doing what I shouldn't do today.

Ahh Oz - going to think long about this before (or if) I reply.

Just as a thought for both of us ....

Hearts Blessing posted "the six stages of MLC" ...

http://www.divorcebusting.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=97846&page=1

I'm trying do decide if the W is in stage 4 and moving into 5.

I hope snodderly or someone with some experience with this can help.

It's a very powerful thread with a great deal of insight.

And now - shower - been very lazy. Tidy up. And wait for the guys to arrive this PM.

(((((Oz))))) and GET SOME SLEEP!

Mac

Hi Mac

Probably wise to think long and hard about replying.

Have had a read not sure of where my H is somewhere between stage 2 and 3 or 3 and 4. Will have to read it again.

Have fun tonight.

Hugs to you Mac
