Most Likely Youngster Goes His Way (& W Goes Hers)

[25yearsmlc]

I too sometimes get to a point where I've just GOT to read a regular book. As cool as Kindles are, they will never kill the book, period. (I do admit that it sure helps when I read thick, heavy tomes like "Infinite Jest" or "Under the Dome.")

OMG had to comment here...LOVE my books...absolutely. But I love my Nook (don't know the differences between all of the e-readers but supposedly and surprisingly heard that Barnes/Noble has MORE books than Amazon???)

but thing is, aside from not having to carry around tomes like "Under the Dome", (which I read & loved btw),

I hate admitting this...but now that I'm officially "middle aged"...

I find that my eyesight sukks after reading an hour or two.

So, sadly, I HAVE TO enlarge the letters after awhile and only an e-reader can do that.

We have a decent sized library in our home (h has two medical degrees and I am a L, so we have tons of heavy books we'll probably read again, maybe 3 times in the next 50 years??)

Still I cling to law books with puny print that I cannot seem to sell or let go of. Why? IDK...it's not like others see our library and get impressed. It's in an out of the way room. So it's not even vanity. Or maybe it gives me some sense of achievment knowing "I read THAT AND THAT"...??

So the eyesight thing stinks and yes I have 3 different eye glasses prescriptions...At this rate when I'm 80

I'll read one word at a time on an index card...geez...

(there' a joke in there somewhere, hmm, I better remember)

actually may look into lasik surgery next time I have an extra $5k.




I'm glad that you noticed that interactions with my W have been somewhat more positive than they once were -- I've noticed, too. It's hard to know if it means anything. Maybe she's getting the idea that I'm going dark and that's going to stick, or perhaps she realizes that ranting and raving will only push me away further. Who knows.


She's playing some sort of game. I wondered about her weight comments. She either likes her men big, (??)

or she's hoping you are depressed and losing weight the "DB grief induced way". That bugs me. Why can't she just say you look good?

You could tell her "actually w, a lot of folks have commented on my weight loss AND NOTICED HOW MUCH I'VE WORKED OUT, but the downside is that I have to buy more clothes..." and change the topic;.

This way she knows that you are putting a positive spin on her comment and that you were oblivious to her intent, whatever it was...and maybe you'll be giving her the benefit of the doubt.


Yesterday, I got an e-mail from my W. It was a forward of a message from the local "bunny spa," which is basically a great service for rabbits in the area to clean them up and give them a check-up for only a $10 "suggested donation." W wrote, "I keep getting these emails. But I thought I'd forward this one to you in case you're interested in taking [the rabbit]." I replied and said, "Thanks, I appreciate it."

Again, the tone just feels different. She may just genuinely want the best for the rabbit, but at least she's being nice in giving me the info.

what is the deal with the rabbit, west? Is this an excuse for more contact or a symbol of the marriage or what?


And what's with the comment about "too bad we couldn't divorce by now"...

sounded like a probing comment on her end, to me.

I'm liking your GAL and interactions with her though, big time.

Good job! You've come a long way my man...a long way. Good for you.

Oh and I LOVE your t. Humor is mandatory and if a c or mc or t lacks one, i can't go back. I do stand up comedy and I'm not saying they have to love my jokes but my sense of humor IS a coping tool I use

so yeah, they have to get that part of me or they won't be helping me much.
Yours sounds great.

I missed out on the post about sex with OM...where's that? WTH? If I find it I'll let you know my take on it b/c there has to be a reason for it.

Worst case is she wants you to know it's over. But even with that goal, seems needlessly cruel.

Best case, for lack of better terms, is that she is testing you, teaching you somethihng she wanted you to know about her sexually, or probing or trying to make you jealous...wth?

there have to be better ways to achieve those goals...Jesus...
