You sound like you have been able to settle inside the eye of the hurricane so to speak. Its a nice feeling no?
As far as your dude friend ... sounds like he was just temp checking a bit .. seeing if there was an outside shot at some ... good for you standing up and staying the course, would only complicate things anyways. That sentence about being without S ... I totally relate to that, sadly my S does too, he is starting to voice his frustration more and more about he and I being apart, just the little things like how I wake him up and the kind of time we do spend together he enjoys so much. I do feel blessed to have the R with him that I do, but time off is nice just ot be able to GAL and get things done.
