Painter, you hit the nail on the head, he is admittedly afraid of being alone and admittedly needy. Thanks for the helpful real estate advice. I'm very confused as to what to do, because my numbers aren't looking as I hoped. First, my dad pushed me not to go beyond a certain amount, now he is saying I need to do it because of tax credits and my ability to take more take home pay. I'm honestly confused and need to marinate on it. The good news is I am preapproved even with my not stellar credit score because I make a decent salary and have 401k and IRA.
Linda, I was told my dress made an impact, lol. Apparently I looked amazing. hehe.
I texted him last night. I guess it's sort of the backslide I made through this whole thing. I texted him a happy birthday and I told him I hope his age treats him well. He said "thanks!, we'll see with an emoji. I then texted that it was great seeing his daughter and not a day goes by I don't think about her. Please give her a hug for me every now and then." I said it was good to catch up the little we did and I left some things unsaid because I got the feeling that's how they belong. he said he really did want to talk more, but he can't couldn't drive the car he was driving in the dark, so he had to get home. I said enjoy your festivities and he made sure to tell me he was only having alone time and going to bed early on his birthday. I ended it with a goodnight.
Probably shouldn't have, I know. I get my one backslide pass, right? I mean from the ones I used to make with my ex every five minutes, one in 6 months isn't so bad.
I'm feeling overall better today. Not quite as sad.
