Every year I tell him that I still love him, sorry and he gets crazy and starts screaming and yelling. For the past 2 years he would yell then tell me that he doesn't love me anymore. But last year he did yell but didn't say anything about not loving me (I believe with everything we do together, he does love me)That was actually last January. I cards that I give him, I still sign love, and when he got back from Poland last summer I gave him a card and wrote how glad he was back and how much I miss him. The date thing, I really haven't had the guts. But as luck would have it, I am a season ticket holder to the theater and buy tickets a year in advance, mostly its for me and daughter, but I did get tickets to a show for me and OM, since that is no more, I am going to ask ex if he would go with me and actually if he says no, I am thinking about just giving him the tickets and go with whoever he wants because he works so hard and he deserves a break, weather with me or someone else. And if he says no, hopefully it would open the door for some relationship talk. the show is "The Man Intellect--an oxymoron" I heard it was a funny show about relationships and how men are tring to figure out woman. If he goes we would at least gets some laughs about relationships.
