Ellie... I literally giggled and got all sorts of excited to hear from you! Aaaannnnnnd, I'm not really a "giggly" sort or chick... so... I think I'm excited to hear from you! I love that about your man. That is so awesome. And doesn't it feel so good to be with someone so different than your ex! You have always been an inspiration to me... and always so frank, real, and keen with this whole debacle. I really respect that. Thank you for that. And yes, NG is great. Everything dbex wasn't and couldn't ever be.
This happened for a reason. And for that, I am grateful.
Shining- I don't think I have to say a thing... you know what's up...
Hi Bright! How are you? You have always been so perceptive, and you are probably right. I hope things are going well for you and you are finding your way. You are such a sweet person and deserve great things. It was great hearing from you.
Hi Sotto.. thanks for checking in. Yes, moving was one of the best things I've ever done. I'm realizing now, reading all of the responses, how many lbs actually have to move for their own... sanity? Wow.
I know the feeling you have when you go into the city. I get really frustrated going certain places bc of that. I avoid the place I lived for 15 years. BTW, we moved there bc I had a family member there and it was close to where I grew up and a place I really wanted to live. So we went there and he lives there now with her. But whatever, I don't even care. However, going towards the city, where they live closer to and work, I get those feelings. Barf. I wonder if that will ever subside. I mean, I don't care about them, its just something... tainted by them. That's the only way I can describe it. And to date, I have never seen them together. Nor seen the "baby" or her, really, for longer than a minute in non-raging eyes.
Whow, I tend to digress here... Whoa, whoa, wow, wow!!! My fingers get-a-tappin!
Anyway, Sotto.. I hope someday you are able to enter the city carefree of that tainted feeling and anxiety. I know you recognize it as "irrationally scared" but I think that is a major part of what they do to us in this irrational situation. Good luck and take care.
Hi job... your post was like a hug from mom after a long separation! Thank you... for everything...
Awwwwww... Gwen.... that was soooooo sweet. I don't know, hearing someone followed my sitch makes me slightly nervous! I'm glad you aren't judgmental! I don't know about strong, but an irrational/ridiculous situation it was! But, I must say, yest, I am moving forward on my own terms. I would have it no other way. And never will have it any other way again. I hope you are well. You have always been so sweet and sincere and I hope things are good for you now.
I just have to say how nice it was checking in here. Like visiting with old friends. I don't have any social media, that not my thing... but what this group here has done for me is truly amazing. Thank you so much. I still follow advice from many here and still appreciate the kick in the pants I'd sometimes get to get me going on my own path.
