What's New? This is new.

At least he goes outside. It still hurts. He's talking to someone he loves and it's not me. We ARE roommates & we are STUCK here during this pandemic.

I have even more empathy for you here Can, as I had to listen to convos this week for the first time (imagining it was one of H’s friends and nothing more, but that could easily change). He’d rather spend time on the phone with anyone else! All of this plus the pandemic is a lot. Being stuck in the house with H 24/7 now is a lot. I feel like he’s a caged animal, and I’m waiting for him to snap. I think he’s practicing some denial that might ward that off, though. This is driving home to me that if I were interviewing roommates and alien H walked in, I would be like, That’s not a good fit! But somehow he snuck in and I’m stuck with him for an indefinite amount of time.

Too bad 00 can’t make it to ow/gf! Ha. I hope good things are revealed too, Can. It’s probably better to have that attitude than my current one, which is what crazy/selfish thing is coming next? I’ll flip my mindset too. What positive change or energy could this situation manifest in the future? Why should it only bring about bad?

Hi cardnial. This advice is a reminder for me & you & others.

"Zero Expectation" is another mind set. Whatever will be will be. Us LBS really do need to focus more on ourselves. Interesting times during this world wide crisis. If your mlc spouse or x in my case in in the house, they are roommates with their own lives separate from ours. Detach yourself from your roommate & GAL separate. If they engage you, its okay to interact. The more we detach, imagine the other as a roommate, it gets easier. Keep yourself busy.

Those positive universal vibes we put out will come back and make us stronger. We need to remind ourselves that in time, good things will come our way because we are good people. We are ALL on a journey. Lets survive. Let's be happy.
