PP's New Adventure (5) - Filing & Moving Forward

[PigPen]

PP,

I'm taking all of this for what it is - nothing.

What the hell??!! Nothing??!!

Let's see what transpired over the weekend.

-You got to see Woofie for the first time
-W walked in the house and sat on the sofa
-W talked with you for over an hour
-W said things that were informative and you should file away in the back of your mind
-Remember to believe 50% of what they say

I only have to mention Thornton's name to remind you that his W wasn't really happy apart from him and she tearfully told him that it wasn't all it was cracked up to be on the other side of the fence.

Bid your time and all will come out in due course.

I think your sitch has the potential to turn around for the better.

Thank you Wonka, I understand that things in my sitch are vastly different than they were a month ago or even a week ago. My feeling, and yep I know this is mind reading, is that my W wants us to be bff's. That even though she's opened up a bit about why she left, she is on the whole much happier without me. Sure there is a place that still misses me and loves me, but that's just a natural reaction and part of the transition.

I also believe I really did upset her when I laughed about Woofie. Of all things to push her away with. I really did think it was hilarious, but she took it as a deep insult. I watched her face change and she swallowed to prevent herself from crying it seemed. This however, was also a big change on her part as I hardly ever saw emotion on her when we were together. Part of the reasons she gave me in the past for her having to leave was that I would never see her and support her exactly as she is and this was one more time that I didn't. More mind reading but I feel like I solidified that belief.

Time to focus on the positive. I know. Much is positive from our interactions. Much from a DB standpoint and a real life standpoint. I fell a bit into the "all or nothing trap" instead of looking at this as numerous baby steps forward.

In fact, she told that next weekend she may not be there but she would leave me a key to come into her house and grab Woofie. That's a big step up from one line emails.

Thank you Wonka, both for the 2x4 and for all of your help thus far.

Edited because I forgot - Big hug to you Wonka!
