wo0w- you are doing some heavy-dutythinking out there. sooo many things you say are true for me also - it doesn't surprise me since i've seen over and over how we all seem to experience the same idiosyncracies (sp) with these mlc folks.
it's so icky- the not wanting you to do anything for him. i see that too- it's there - we've lived together so long- we'd have to be nuts not to notice out -of-character things.
i don't think it's mind-reading on your part.(necessarily)
30 or 40 years is a long time with anyone - you just know what is happening with someone you've spent your life with.
oh well- i just wanted to sayb yeah- i sure hear ya and it does make me feel a bit better to hear someone else say allllllll the same things.
I don't even have the juice for a response other than to say you sound good- and i'm glad of that.
i am seriously on cruise. i can tell after this past year- i'm too "tired" mentally to deal. i'm just tryin to float thru the holidays without making any sudden moves. i don't think i'm particularly depressed or anything- just honestly emotionally worn out. keeping the peace and stfu-ing is my only way to remain detached and unentangled in "junk" here and around my sisters. everyone seems pretty nuts and scrappy to me. a land of edgy women who are unhappy with no one to blame - pocket analysis. no extra charge.
no big expectatiopns- will be happy if there are no upsets with any sisters or relatives or h either. i want harmony and that is all. i hope you have it as well- i hope your thanksgiving goes well and you manage to enjoy it.
i better go clean - that being said- we're hosts this year and not a darn thing done, clean or purchased.
