But...what are we doing? Why a label, other than the one he already has? WAH...he's gone for now, Jpeg. I don't think it matters why, the fact is he's gone. I know you don't want to - but the only thing you can really do, the only thing you should do, is focus on yourself. Move forward without him.
Hopefully, one day he'll do his own version of a V-8 commercial - knock himself in the head, and say "What am I doing?" But until that day comes, you are treading water. Wouldn't you rather make some progress?
You realize I do understand where you're coming from. You just want H to come back...but he won't for a while, if ever. My dear friend, let's look at what life looks like if you're living for you. What are your goals? Where do you want to be? What places do you want to visit?
The hope is that one day, H will wake up and run to catch up with you as you continue your own journey. You can't, for your own peace of mind, stand in one spot and observe his actions. It's hurting you so very badly. Let's dream for you...Jpeg, the most awesome, faithful, loyal friend and wife ever created! She deserves really great things in life...let's make that happen.
What do you think you need to do to start moving forward? Even if it's just an inch?
