I go to court to answer to the eviction charge tues. I am getting ready, I will ask for abatement for all out of pocket expenses during the time I've lived here. Mark did quite a bit of repairs when the LL wouldn't so I will need receipts. I texted him this afternoon asking him to call me. Took several hours, but he just called. He'll make them & drop them on or b4 Tues. a.m. I asked if he would look at the house that I'm thinking to buy. I thought he'd be ever so impressed that I'm thinking on this track now and that he'd really enjoy "helping me" determine if the house is solid. But he said, it's your house, you have to decide if it's what you want. I was a bit shocked. We talked about buying for our entire 4 yrs together, I thought he'd be excited and impressed. He was very blase about it so I just blew it off and told him not to bother it's not really necessary. Silly me, I thought it would make him wish we were doing it together and that it would somehow help.
I asked how he's doing and he said he's pretty much just working a lot like always. Trying to do what he can in his little time off, otherwise he's the same. He said after this project concludes that he's moving for a time to the caribbean where he has been given a great opportunity for investment there. I was very surprised. When we were together I tried to encourage him to think about that cuz I wanted to retire there w/ him one day. I wanted him to build me a world class spa that I would manage and tourists would travel esp. to stay at our beautiful spa/resort. That was my retirement fantasy. I don't know what he's got planned but that news stings cuz I'm not involved in the thing I bugged him to think about! He's from the islands, and his Dad left a lot of land that's just sitting there in paradise waiting for "our" huge estate home to be built on it. Whenever I talked about that type of future plan for us, he would say someday he may think about returning, but not anytime soon. He wanted to build himself here - he was going to buy bldgs and get into real estate & retire from his line of work. Well, I can't imagine what's happened that he's now got big plans in the islands. Boo hoo, I'm not in those plans. That kind of plans is my achilles heel. I love caribbean lifestyle and have had escape fantasy involving the islands long b4 I met BF. When we met & I learned he had acres and acres of land down there it fueled my dreams.
He referred to it as the carib. & not the name of his country so I have the impression it's something that doesn't involve his land. Why am I suspicious that it involves some woman he's met who wants him to do some work there? Dang stupid horoscope!
I could have been a better dber, but forgot that I need to get him off the phone and he had to tell me he had stuff to do so he had to hang up. SHOOT. He beat me to it.
So recap- he'll give me the receipts, isn't interested in my house. Has been doing something on his time off, and has mysterious investment plans in the caribbean, island unknown. He has no questions about how I am or what I'm up to.
Does not look good for my team. No points for me. His cold sounding tone makes me very unsure about my idea to lay it all out when I see him. Although it's been since early July that I talked to him about my feelings for him, maybe he assumes I'm over it? Maybe he should know I'm not?
Regardless, talking with him has really calmed me down. I have been a distressed mess the past couple days and something about his voice brings me peace.
