smile Hi Everyone! Thanks for all your great posts!

[quote][/quote]That gets boring after the newness wears off...seriously. (And what is the deal with chopped liver, btw...? The best pates are basically that, and are they tasty!...

laugh LOl....Thanks T^2! Ha ha... I liked that! Quite frankly...I don't see what he sees in her! Perhaps someone that was just as obsessed about gaming (if not worse) than he is, enjoys a surgically clean house (you should hear his expectations for a clean BBQ grill crazy)as he does,doesn't like animals, she doesn't work, all her kids are grown, and really has no life, well she can "service" him any time he wants.

And you know what? I feel sorry for her.

I remember she always used to call over to the house and request him to rescue her in some way at work. And you know what? As down and out as I've been in my life I have never needed rescuing or asked him or anyone else to rescue me. I've asked for help and might need a little help, but I am the farthest thing from being a damsel in distress. So with him being Mr. Nice Guy, I can see how that would result in a love/hate relationship with me. Attracted to my strength, but resent me for not being needy so he can rescue me and gain approval.

Yet there are so many things he did or he was that I admired so much in him. Funny thing, he never could take a compliment either.

About the weight loss you guys, The one thing that is the hardest for me is feeling deprived. Another thing is my work is so hectic Im lucky to even get a regular break just to get a healthy snack. Then Im over hungry and end up over eating. I really must work on a solution to this.

The girls are with their Dad tonight. I text him yesterday and told him that D9 could ride the bus now given she's off crutches and wheelchair restriction. I let him know I will have her ride the bus home from school and that if he wanted to, he didn't have to take them to school every morning if that's what he wanted to do. He's been racing over here on his 15 minute breaks to get the to school since Im at work at that hour. I never got a response from him. One thing I did notice is that at every extra mile he's tried to go the past month, I've kindly said "no thank you, I have it taken care of". When I do that, he drops the coversations like a hot potato. Im curious as to if he takes offense to this.

Im feeling pretty good today and am so relieved that so much of my anger seems to have just melted away...finally. However I won't count my chickens quite yet. Im sure Im not completely done being angry, or I will most likely get frustrated by him again. But as long as it becomes less and less, that's a sign of progress.
