Bea, I know, right? I know I should have no expectations but at least a special card. Hmpf.

KP - I like your version better, too! Setting Skippy on fire - and not the desire kind of fire, the flaming hot hurts like heck fire!! I don't know about mystical powers, but I do believe we all have that "sixth sense".

Do you know it has been a long time (with only one exception) that I have initiated a text with Skippy? Just before the holidays. I have been trying to be low contact - I will respond when he initiates. You did get me thinking that at some point I may need to re-think that but for now, I like this rhythm. At least if he contacts me I know it is because he wants to.

BF, I could not have said it better myself:

I know how hard it is sometimes to just go with the flow. It all seems so sloooow. I’m sure I can say that my H has been doing this touch and go for some time. I just stopped giving these short contacts any significance. I think this could be a downside of detaching too much, LOL. But at the end of the day, I’m tired of these crumbs. If H wants anything to do with me, he will have to take a big step. Otherwise, I’m going to continue to move on.


Maybe it's because we never see them? But I feel that if Skippy doesn't up his game a bit, he's going to be that day too late. It is one of the reasons I don't contact him. I refuse to chase him and I no longer trust that isn't what he wants. I have no idea where he is in his crisis. Maybe he is with another woman or back with GF, don't know. I don't want to be sucked back in.

Nero, you're a gem. I think for those of you who have the MLCer still around, it makes it harder to detach. I am pretty even keeled when I get a text from outerspace, I am happy I got it but like BF, I can now recognize it for the touch and go that it is without getting my hopes up. But of course you feel better chatting to him, it is a glimpse of the life and person that you miss. If I don't think too hard, that is how I feel when Skippy contacts me, especially if it sounds like the old him that I knew. The one with the off sense of humour. I get it.
