Here's a story...of a very sad lady

[mishka422]

Maybe instead of taking the dog for a walk (which will only look like you're "hiding" from him), you should be dressed to the 9s, looking and smelling fantastic, and saying "You gonna be here for a little while? I have something I have to do, but I shouldn't be long -- no later than 9. Thanks, you're a dear!" and then ... poof! You're gone.

OMG! Love it puppy!!! Perfect!

That screams out, "My life is my own, you won't destroy me - that would give you power over me - and I will be JUST FINE!"

Frankly, I did that once soon after the bomb and it seriously threw my xh for a loop for a few weeks. Had him thinking hard at least and actually gave me a boost and a push.
