Hi Wonder, Tracked you down and read your new thread. Ohhhh, the patience we must have!
Quote: Today, I found an interesting article from Psych. Today about how men deal with depression: Male depression isn't as obvious as the defenses men use to run from it. I call this "covert depression." It has three major symptoms. First, men attempt to escape pain by overusing alcohol or drugs, working excessively or seeking extramarital affairs. They go into isolation, withdrawing from loved ones. And they may lash out, becoming irritable or violent.
Wow, that really stood out to me, too. I would not be surprised if my H is depressed and just really trying to cover it up. He had been doing all three: overusing alchohol, overworking, and getting into an affair.

Quote: It really does lift the spirits. It's certainly a 180 for my life to have men falling over themselves to flirt with me. A friend of mine swears that there has to be a scent or a sign or something.
I did get asked out for a date (a concert at the end of March). I haven't answered yet because I was so startled. Not expecting it. But nice to be asked.
