Well, the saving grace is she definitely noticed my GAL activities wearing my earring, growing a beard(I've since shaved...got to itchy), playing guitar, and embarking on new adventures with DD's because she mentioned those specifically in our MC/FC session yesterday.
Will I be waiting by the phone for STBXW to call me? Naw
Will I leave the light on? Yes, but the question is How long will the light remain on? That I can't answer today.
I'd say that's just about the perfect balance, 51. Shining a light on the path back to you, but -- make no mistake -- I'm WALKIN' down the path, baby, and I ain't looking over my shoulder.
