WBW, thank you for stopping by. More like rogue tsunamis, aren't they?
MizJ, I love your sunny outlook and thank you for your positive voice. Even if you really wanted to tell me to forget about the trout, you encouraged me instead. That means much to me. I have heard of the bad memories of MLCers. But the last time we spoke he actually mentioned the time frame... I recall him saying there was something he had not wanted to ask me in eight months. I guess I was pretty convincing that he was free to go. He sure went but this time he had no tears or pleas, just silence and an acknowledgment that no one would be able to make him laugh like me. Silence ever since.
Is anyone a Douglas Adams fan? Answer to the universe is 42? Anyway, both of us were fans of his sense of humour. In his most famous book The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, the group finds a special gun that was apparently invented by SAHMs to try to get their Hs to understand what they went through on a daily basis because of course their Hs thought they had it easy. Point the gun and shoot and miraculously the Hs then understood what their Ws feelings were. I thought this would be a great invention. We could point those guns at our partners and they could feel and then actually empathize with what the LBS feels as they roll through our lives.
I wish I knew if this silence is forever. The longer it goes on the more that it must be. I get stronger but that does not stop me from wondering. The longer it goes on the more I fear that the relationship with the GF has become more serious and that if he calls I will have to hear about it. I think I would rather not hear from him if she is in the picture. Or at least not for a very long time.
