No, TxHubby, I'm not too good for her. We are all just human with good points and bad points. We are both working on things. She's feeling lost still, but happier now that ow is out of her life. And that I'm back in. She needs friends, because she feels she has alienated everyone by her bad behavior. I'm not happy that she's not inviting me to go to the party with her, but she gets to make those decisions for herself, right? We aren't back together yet, we're still taking things slowly.

Update, we are now in touch every day, either by a phone call or texts or both. We don't see each other every day, even when she is in town. (And she has been away 4/5 workdays for the past two weeks.) We've spent maybe 12 hours together since January. And every one of those hours has been good. Sometimes difficult because we have a lot of talking to do, and sometimes wonderful as it feels so natural to be with her.

I'm still living my life, but am less concerned about being busy every evening. That gives me more time to just veg out or read or spend time with my dogs, or think and ponder or be in touch with my DB friends.

Patience is still key. I don't respond to every text immediately. Yesterday I was feeling a bit insecure because my morning text went unanswered until almost 7 p.m. I did not respond. I was on the phone with a friend when the first of 3 calls and one VM came in. Then my phone died, so it took a while to get back to W. It felt good to know that holding back had an impact. I don't want to be the only one who worries. I always remember, I think it was Annab saying, I'm the prize, and she has to work at winning me back! Of course I want nothing more than for us to be back together, but I do want to be a valuable catch.

So I'm still working on it.
