Yes, this is exactly what you get when you stop eating your fish friend. This is progress, but don't forget that I had to "remind" him that it was okay to disagree with me before he'd actually do it.
I wonder if he'll ever respond in a typical fashion? Or am I going to have to "lead the witness" for an eternity?
Who cares... I got the words and I promise I didn't sulk or act disappointed when I spoke next. I know he believed this, or he would have never apologized.
Wow, where did you get that coupon? And can I really have it? What if I want more?
He better not stalk me... or he's going to get a black eye! (Note: Does punching his lights out count as eating my fish friend?)

And it's going to take awhile for him to do it, even if I did prompt him (which I can't right now, because I haven't backed up my assurance with actions.)

I can't reveal my sources. But I do happen to have a whole book of these babies right here (*waves the book at Betsey*) I've got you covered.

As long as you don't say anything that might hurt his feelings and make him feel invalidated, it doesn't count. So punch away!
One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life.
Yeah, unfortunately there are certain "conditions" to earning these coupons. Like, if you even nip a fish tail - these go *poof*! (And Mer just thinks that because she only got one for Bob -she was really upset!)

Sounds like you are doing great...loved the convo you managed with Mr. W about the restaurant choice....and the Ones you are having with MIL!!!!! wow wow wow....now isn't that a great turn of events.....I am sooo happy for you... (yes,I realize she has passed).....but I think your communications with her are such a blessing.
I have decided that I just miss coming here too much...everytime I read your posts I get to feeling better
I'm really not sure what to think with Mr. Wonderful. He's showing some contrary behaviors that normally would confuse me. Instead, I'm just letting them go and getting on with my weekend.
For example, I did see him at the grocery store last night--he and D6 were waiting for D9 to finish up her GS cookie stint there. He smiled nicely at me, but backed up a few steps. No, Bob didn't feel the need to come with me either. What was that about?
I got home and there was a box of blush wine and a note from him that he was replacing mine because he's had the most to drink from it. He's done it before but there was just something odd about the note--that I couldn't figure out.
My phone rang off the hook last night--I was on cell while visiting with my surrogate parents. We're warming up for our Fridays together during Lent. But D9 was the initiator of the call--to ask me questions that were his.
She did it this morning as well.
Why isn't he talking to me personally? Something isn't sitting right and I'm not sure if it's bad or good or neither.
Maybe this is what my horoscope yesterday was about--more of the same that I'm used to, but with a different slant?
I managed to do my workout this morning (while replanning my next remodeling project here) and now it's time to go get a manicure and pedicure. I'm long overdue and deserve one. After all, tomorrow is my 10th anniversary of giving birth for the first time!
What's a girl to do?
"There are only 2 ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."
Sounds like you are doing the right thing tho....a manicure and a pedicure!! How terrific.
I also think a girl has to listen to her intuition....somethings up....not because of the wine and the note...that is actually sweet and telling... He cares what you think of him. However your radar is up and I would listen to that....
Could it be he is feeling a bit wary because he is realizing how important to him you are( with his mum's passing) and this is making him a bit uncertain? Not aboout you but about himself......?? He's also been sharing himself more lately than in recent history and this has got to be making him a little gunshy too......
I say keep up your positive attitude...don't pry too much and have patience.......letting him know that sharing may make him vulnerable but you won't take advantage of that......
Don't be surprised if he pulls back even more....He is hyper sensitive right now to that fact that he shares so much with you.
Maybe his going through D9 to communicate is a way of putting a buffer between the two of you????
He gets a little more time to filter things.......
I know you'll make this a good weekend no matter what his mental state is...just a bit unnerving tho isn't it!
, you'll have to suffer...
