Thanks Hope and Rick for your responses!

Hope you are right, my stressing over finances certainly did not help our relationship at all. My self esteem is a tricky thing, I would have to agree that my livelihood certainly does factor into it. I hear everything that you are saying and agree with it wholeheartedly.

Rick, I appreciate your kind words as well, and you are right we will get it done :-).

So I was busy GAL this weekend. She texted me on Saturday afternoon with some business nonsense that I think she was just trying to feel out what I was doing. I let 5 hours pass before responding to her simply answering her questions and nothing more. Then she proceeded to call me Saturday evening. I didn't pick up her call, she didn't leave a message. We traded a couple of nondescript texts yesterday, I think this LRT might be working....

We'll see what happens...

Good luck to one and all in your respective sitch's!!!
