Quote: Another reason for the manicure is my former assistant does them. She's good to talk to. I listen to her guy troubles. She listens to my troubles.
Gayer and gayer!!
Here is something I found on the newcomers board. I think it might be worth you starting a thread there.
The first small sign I often encourage people to look for is Ws ambivalence--swinging from cool or even hostile behavior to relaxing and even warmth sometimes. What's important is that you respond to either with a nonchalant neutrality. Otherwise in positive moments she may worry about creating "false hope" (which I consider an oxymoron, but seems to hold meaning for some people) and seeing any negative response to hostility as verification of her assumptions.
So, as the wise ones here have said, do your DB work for yourself, and let nothing you see or hear sway you from the course of self-care, PMA, and your sense of direction. Blessings, v

That thing from Vernett/Virginia was informative. It kind of says what a friend said in an earlier email. I may have to rethink my overall strategy. My reaction to her has been neutral. No "hey you're talking to me!" I'll keep that up and see what happens. I decided I have honor and meant what I said when I took my vows. Therefore, I put my ring back on. I'll take it off if/when this thing happens. Just because she's acting without honor doesn't mean I have to.
BTW Jiji. Do you have link to the thread this qoute came from? I'll check in a little later. I'm about to go for a beer or two and then MY MANICURE
