One month down, zero casualties

[RosaLinda]

You're too funny Raine! Your rendition of the probable diaIog betwwen your H and his dad if you try to interceed with T's suggestions for reflective listening is hilarious. Sad but so funny at the same time. And I laughed when I read "I felt this electric, oh my gosh he touched me. And then I laughed at myself inside that something like that was all it took. Maybe I'm back in HS too?" The other day when I was leaving for work my H reached out his hand and I said "cheez he's going to shake hands goodbye" to myself. But he held my hand in both of his for a few seconds, and my heart did that I-love-you-so-much flip. I often feel like my H acts like an 11th grader, but maybe you're right and we're back in HS too, having a crush on a dorky MLCer

I'm so glad that your H has softened up and seems worried that any wrong move and you'll ask him to leave. He SHOULD be protective of you and concerned about your feelings. It is sort of surprising that he is able to describe that "fog," but my H has told me things, described feelings (like his descriptions of his depression I told you about) and then afterwards denies he ever said it!!! But I'm so glad that Wonka thinks your H might be waking up out of his fog. The fact that he is even aware that you HAVE feelings seems to point to it too. What a relief!!

Your H's description of his new crowd of friends is pretty interesting. They probably show him a lot of respect and make him feel important, like a bunch of 9th graders looking up to a senior at MLC High. "What better way to feel better about yourself than to be around people you feel superior to?" I think this works when it comes to OW too!

"I think he is getting there too, slowly. But I guess it wouldn't be a crisis if it was fast and easy. Fast and easy is what is keeping him in crisis. Yes, that was yet another other woman joke (yaowj). Ba doom ching!" 

Yowsers! We all think pretty highly of YOU Rainey!
