Thanks, Pattie. I was driving back to the house from my new apartment after just kind of sitting in there trying to absorb it as my new place, and I realized I am starting to mourn the loss of this relationship - I am pretty sure that grieving is the first step to letting go, and I don't think I can stop it! He and I have had a little bit of R talk, wherein he told me that he was insulted that I would think he was dating so soon - that he could just say "get out" and then replace me right away with someone else...he is convinced I have a man in Seattle...I guess it is a territorial thing that even though he doesn't want me right now, he doesn't want anyone else to have me either.
Giving up dreams is hard...when I think about what I would like to be doing on this Sunday evening...this was family night, and our S is with a sitter - just a week ago we had talked about going to the movies if we could get him a sitter, and now I know that if I was going to go, it would have to be by myself. I would just rather be doing quiet family things than working on moving on bravely by myself. AUGH! Myrrh
One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life.
