BA-welcome home! Good to see you back and hope you're ready to dive in the dysfunctional dating pool with us again.
Betsey
Hey Bets - well the dysfunctional dating pool for me just got a little bit more complicated. While in Florida, over the last ten days, I received several phone calls and texts from Marianne just "checking on me." None of them were flirtatious at all and while I thought they were a bit out of the norm for her, I chalked it up to her just being a good friend. So yesterday I get the following email:
BA,
I'm so sorry that it's taking me so long to come around. I am head over heels in love with you. I know my timing is horrible and again I'm so sorry. I hope I have a chance with you. I am terrified of losing you, but I understand that I hurt you terribly and you are seeing someone else now. You deserve happiness and a beautiful life. I hope it's with me, but if not I will wish you only the best of everything. I have no one to blame but myself. I would have told you all this over the phone this morning, but I didn't think I could get through the conversation without falling apart. Please forgive me for everything.
All my love, Marianne
Now had this email been communicated to me just two months ago, I literally would be doing cartwheels. However, unbeknownst to Marianne, this comes just a few days before Sarah from Michigan is to arrive. I have really connected with Sarah, albeit via written communication. So for all I know Sarah and I may not be able to stand each other after two days together in person, but still.
I also don't get how the whole time Marianne and I were going out as a couple she never had feelings at all like this for me. Now after 9 months of not being a couple she is head over heels in love with me. My head is spinning...
