Your last post is why I gave you the advice I gave you on the mail situation. AT a minimum you should have been gone when he came to get his mail. Seeing him. His indifferent attitude (see how well detachment works!). All that set you back, and you weren't very far forward to begin with.
You are right - there had been more warmth the last 2 times he was over. THIS was a chilly reception. The only positive is that he brought the dog.
Everything a single thought crosses my mind I need to picture his demeanor - NO EYE CONTACT, emotionless face and for a jovial man that very harsh.
^^^^ YES, I need to keep this mental picture so that I stop making the mistakes. He is not interested at all in pursuing me no matter how many books I read.
I understand all I did was show him proof that I was the problem in his eyes... this isn't working because she has to read a book on how to be a good wife.
