W just called asking for help with her new email account. Told her I'd fix it tonight when I got home. Call over. Nearly froze my ear off. I don't think we spoke a word yesterday. (we live together)
On the other hand, I went out to a fine GAL event last night and met a bunch of new people. Interesting bunch, and I had fun, but many of them have it far worse off than I do. Made me feel my M problems were pretty insignificant compared to what some of them face day to day. I have been perfectly happy not expanding my circle of friends without W's lead for far too long, so this meeting new people stuff is challenging me. There was certainly a dependency on W there. Fortunately, I like a good challenge, and now that I'm not hinging everything on W, I have the time for it. This is making me look inside a bunch at what I need in order to be happy besides W and family and solitary hobbies. I've always been pretty self sufficient, and that can come across as not being interested in others, which is not how I feel at all. My goal is to change that perception. Any links to the master GAL list?
