W dropped S off this morning, she brought me a TV to replace one she took. It wasn't a 48 inch flat screen like she took, and it was probably 20 years old, but I thanked her and told her she didn't have to bring it. She set it up and said she felt bad not leaving me a TV in the bedroom, and said she would look at other one her parents have to see if its better that this one. I asked her how she was feeling (she's been sick), she said much better, I told her she looked much better. I asked her if the pants I was wearing looked like they fit alright (first time being able to fit in them in YEARS). She said yes, and complimented my butt (haha I knew she wouldn't be able to resist!). I thanked her. She told me I really lost a lot of weight, I told her I've been exercising. I then told her I was going to the Methodist church today, she asked why I wasn't going to my catholic church. I told her I was still upset at them for not baptizing our S because we hadn't paid our dues and I was done with them and was going to try out all the churches in town.
HAD TO REACT HERE...WTH?!! I'M Catholic and would be shocked to find that situation. Did a priest tell you that?
I've never paid a thing to baptize our kids and didnt' attend either church often enough to be considered a "member," but still, we wanted the kids baptized anyhow...I'm just flabbergasted.
That's the worst Public Relations and stupidest thing I've heard in a long time. It's NOT a "policy" of the Church, I hope you know...but that parish priest, IF that is who denied you the baptism, is a spiteful fool.
Don't throw out the baby with the bath water please. Find another parish. I have NEVER heard of this before...anywhere...just stunned at that idiocy...
I can see why you got frustrated. SIGH...
We chatted a little more about our S, then she said she was running late for work and I walked her to the door, she said have fun, I told her have I nice day and that was that. Our conversations are really good, I just hope she is reconnecting with me. it's okay to be grateful but don't attach expectations so much!!! There is a difference.
Its still so hard to not want to reach out and pull her in for a kiss. I don't know what's harder voluntary sobriety or involuntary abstinence. interesting analogy. Stay the course b/c you are getting small positives. Don't blow it with expectations... I know its way too soon, I've only been DBing for a month and a half, LET HER COME TO YOU b/c it is way too soon for you to make a move. You will know when she's ready b/c she will make a move. Stay the course.
but everyday I look at her I feel like a teenager in love and just can't wait to talk to her and see her smile again. Thanks again everyone for all your support, comments and suggestions. I'll check in later on everyone have a great day all!
Keep on keeping on-there is progress. IT's not linear so there will be detours and setbacks. But stay the course as long as the general direction is good, and it is.
