it makes perfect sense Red. Thanks for putting it so clearly and helping me apply it to my life such as it is right now.
A couple of weeks ago, he was listening to his vms on his cell phone..it was loud. I heard her name, her voice. And freaked. He told me it was an old vm and let me listen to it..it was old. But it sparked a conversation about his contact with her, which up til then I had thought was just one time since he broke it off. Come to find out they talk "occasionally". Last Sunday, I asked if I could use his phone to play a game on there. He said ok, with much reluctance. He gave me his pwd to unlock it and I played and played..he wasn't happy about it at all. the next day when I asked to play again, he had changed his pwd and again gave me the new pwd. he told me he didn't like it when I used his phone. I asked why..because he's afraid girlfriend might call or text while I was playing? He admitted yes, that was it. He said he has enough anguish in his life. Later I told him that I thought it was sad that his wife couldn't play a game on his phone because he was worried his GF might call. I asked him "what's wrong with this picture?" Then we went to the groc store and he was blatently gawking at all the women, one in particular. Even followed her into the pay line. I left the store and told him I'd meet him in the car. I was pissed. So..needless to say it's not the other woman he wants..it's the attention of WOMEN.
Like Grit says, he's not into this M right now. Guess I'll just have to be his roommate for now.
Thanks for your tips..I'll keep reading. Don't forget about me tho..I appreciate all the help I can get right now.
