Sadgirl, he definitely cares. Don't believe for a second he doesn't. He sent you 21 emails on dating. That is crazy!
I think he cares in an I don't want you, but I'm a little freaked that someone else does kind of way. Plus, he told me one of his co-workers (a woman) told him he was crazy to think someone would actually date him when he has kids. He said she laughed, but he has to realize it's partially true. I would NEVER date a man with 4 young kids. Egads!
He once told me it would be easier for me to remarry, and he's probably right.
Not interested, though. Shoot me if I ask any of you to be a bride's maid.
Sol - I never told him it was my stepfather because I never responded.
I decided to let him think what he wants. Considering he had been in the bed of another woman for quite some time it seemed comical to me a dinner out in the open that I shared with somebody (who happened to be my FATHER, well step father but he might as well be my father) would be so damning.
Too bad the tattler didn't see my mom there too. I would have told H I was having a threesome with two old people
It was not jealousy coming from him. If anything it would have been relief because it would have made what he was doing okay since I was doing the same. But I chose not to give him any information as that was the same "courtesy" he offered me.
Honestly, now I can look back and laugh at things that destroyed me beyond belief at the time. And when I say destroyed I mean destroyed to a point of physical and mental breakdown. Time, counseling, dedication to personal growth and healing are good things. And hey, a few key pharmaceuticals certainly were helpful
