Hey peeps!

Yes rH it is strange behavior, but just add it to the list! It is rather long by now lol!

I don't think he can stand himself, that is part of the problem.

T, thank you for sharing your perspective. I guess reality really does come knocking eventually. Just seems to be taking the scenic route in this case!

And I smiled when you broke out the "This girl!" (Two thumbs pointing in) quote I had from awhile ago. Still trying to be that last woman standing, but man, my legs are getting really tired

And I love that you ARE the last man standing. The man that has always loved her unconditionally whether she realized it or not. I remember a quote you had put on my thread a long time ago about how the OP always show their true colors eventually and you said something like "and T^2's looking pretty good these days". Go to it, T!

Thanks for always cheering me on Linda. I'm trying to keep plugging away, I really am. You're a nurse, I give you permission to pull the life support plug on this A!

And at some point, I think the OP has to have doubt creep into their minds. They know how deceptive their bf/gf can be. I can't picture my H telling FT, "Yeah, so last night I couldn't sleep so I went up to bed with TVS and she rubbed me down with lotion while I was in my underwear." Oh, how interesting would THAT conversation be lol!

UW, my H would tell anyone who would listen how lucky he was to be married to me, how great I was, how I was the total package. And he would make fun of OW, her weight, and say how her H was a saint for putting up with her. So yeah, this scenario never really crossed my mind!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

H in a little better mood today. I think some scheming to see each other is going on, but who knows. Still Text - o- Rama around here!

He calls on his way home from golf (which is unusual) to say he is on his way home and chit chat. But then throws in at the end of the conversation that he is planning on golfing a few times towards the end of the week to get it in before we leave for vacation next week.

*******BINGO!!!! *******

I wonder if there's some drama with him going on vacation with his family. I would bet she doesn't like it one bit. To tell you the truth, he seems to be looking forward to it. Certainly talks about it more than he did his beach trip.

Okay, I think we may need some candy to go along with this popcorn. What do you guys want... Raisinets? Snow Caps? Mike and Ikes?

Good thing you got that comfy chair UW- things they are a heatin' up

[uRworthy]

T, I bet your legs can hang in a bit more. In fact, I know they can.

Oh boy. She is probably fuming about the trip. Heehee. Suckks for her.

I'll have raisinets please!

Oh T, I just want to have a few minutes with her and your h. It wont take long to say what I want to say.

You know, I suspect many MLCers have a love hate relationship with OW - like some addicts have with their drug of choice. They resent it, and want to give it up, but need the prop, and like the high.

Can't help thinking if his phone got lost on holiday it wouldn't be a bad thing Just sayin

[nero]

hey-

you're rite- we CAN always walk away tomorrow - i've said it to self a million times. it does help to remember

TALK ABOUT PARALLELS - JUNK - MLC - LIFE - H - WHAT TO TOSS OUT - WHAT TO KEEP - WHAT'S WORTH KEEPING - WHAT WILL NEVER REALLY MEASURE UP AGAIN- OH MAN- RIFE WITH SYMBOLIC CRAPPOLA HERE -

TA DA- NERO - THE JUNKPIE

please refer to my "neursos" about "letting go" of things. i've got a pair of sandles from italy i've had longer than h - like 42 yrs. (only that one pair - but the memories of being 20 or so, spending a few months traveling around Europe - we never had a plan but had alot of fun just bouncing around here & there - women of the world (my sister & I) such good times.

anyway- i know i've got an issue. that very afternoon - I did drive past church on corner of main street handing out clothing to people - some folks in town got washed out by Sandy- so i went home and grabbed my big "mountain" and took it there.

now to create- and dispose of - another one. i hate just putting in trash too- cannot do that at all. i have a box of small things for my teacher-friend's school'S arts & crafts & "prize box" - and a bag for my young skinny buddy who sews alot - & gave mom (she's lost alot of weight) a bunch of shorts that are too big for me, etc. - SO LITTLE BY LITTLS.

AS USUAL- I'D JUST LIKE A BIG RESULT - EVERYTHING TO BE DONE...THAT IS EVERYTHING and tied up neat & pretty with a bow please -

ONWARD & upward huh? hope your day is good -

Hi Tvs,

Just keeping up with you, as usual.

I was remembering my H's two week trip last October with drinking buddies. He texted one night he had done some "drunken posting on FB" but he said it "didn't really matter after all". Why would he tell me that? I could see the flirting on FB. It didn't really matter b/c we were going to be D in 2 months. Very upsetting.

Then a month later we went as a family for Thanksgiving. He never really said but how could he not help compare the two vacations?

Just realizing your H has similar. The vacation with OW, then a vacation with you and the boys. About the same amount of time apart, too? Interesting.

It's so important you keep being wonderful you, and light and easy and loving. I know you can do it b/c you've been doing that all along!

Keep going!
You're doing great!
And I'm sure the legs that are standing still...look great too!

I had a funny quote in my head the other day:

Keep standing until you can stand it no more!

Idk...just being silly!

Thanks guys

Getting that industrial-sized patience shovel out. H on my last nerves.

I can always tell when something is brewing by the amount of texting.

H springs on me today that he has plans tonight, tomorrow night, Thursday and Friday. How nice.

I knew something like this was on the horizon! So predictable.

Now, maybe some of the plans are legit. But I definitely think some of them are just out and out crap.

So feel free UW to have your pep talk with H and OW - no baseball bats or tire irons though, I know you New Yorkers can be tough

And for the rest of you, feel free to give my H the finger. I know I am lol!!!

Just rolling with it here folks. Think I need to stretch my standing (good looking, thanks rH!) legs though - it seems I am getting a cramp

Onward and upward though, right Nero????

[uRworthy]

You have such good instincts, T.

She is pulling the rope because she is feeling him pulling the other way. And she is definitely not liking him going on a family trip.

No bats? Come on now. LOL!

T, I know your legs are hurting from digging in. You can do it for today, though, right?

I am sending you lots of good vibes, praying and rooting for you always, my friend.

And if you change your mind about the bat, just let me know.

[reachingHigher]

When is the family trip, Tvs?

We leave two weeks from today.

[Takevowsserious]

Ha ha ha girl!

On second thought, bring the bat. You are a pip squeak, and H's a six foot ex- football player. Plus, OW may try to throw her girth on you, and you want NO part of that nastiness!!!

Thanks for making me smile

Stretching out my legs now...

[Takevowsserious]

Hi rH - we leave Tuesday, come back Thursday.
