Rollercoaster of love

[LearningPatience]

I ended up getting W a lily plant and a friendship-type card. The card read:
Outside - No matter how crazy my life gets, I know you'll be there, and when it's your turn to lose it...you can count on me.
Inside - We're so screwed if it happens at the same time.

That's basically what got us here in the first place, both of us got to a point where we couldn't be there emotionally for the other. I know this part sounds a bit pursuing, but I added to the card:

"I promise that will never happen again!
Love you, LearningPatience

PS This is not a valentine card :)"

I am making dinner for W tonight. I had asked her Saturday if she had plans for this evening and she admitted she thought it would be improper to go do things with other people this evening. That made me feel good, that she had my feelings in mind for today.

Talked a little bit more about moving out yesterday. It's interesting, the comments she makes make it sound like she really hopes this is a short term, temporary situation. She wants to disrupt as little as possible that would make it harder to come back. We also talked about how we would split some things, she knew some of the things I would like and offered them freely. I also offered up some things she thought I'd want to take with me. She also 'slipped' and called me honey a few times. All in all, I know she's sad and trying to work things out for herself.

Finally, I ended up taking off my own ring on Friday for two reasons. One, the M as we have it is dead. My goal is to have an even better one with the same person in the future. Two, and the more practical reason, is that it doesn't really fit anymore. I've lost 15-20 pounds and it's a tungsten ring, so it can't be re-sized. We'll have to see what we do when (not if) we get back together.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone, no matter your sitch! We can all get through today!
