Hi Pen - What can I say, you hit the nail right on. I had a wee bit of an emotional moment last night, and we got chatting.

NG: What's brought on the melancholy?
Me: Just every now and then I get an emotional trigger and feel vulnerable
NG: Well I guess it will always be like that, something will remind us
Me: It would help me if we can talk about how we are doing
NG: I've said all there is to say, not sure what more you want
Me: Well, just knowing you are there for me to unload on would be good
NG: I don't see the point in re-hashing things, Its over and done with, and we just have to get on with life as best we can
Me: Oh. I'm really struggling with some issues
NG: Well so am I, and I'm dealing with it myself. Sometimes we can only rely on ourselves
Me: To be honest, I'd feel good if you could share your issues with me
NG: Stuff I have to sort out in my head. You only have to recover from this hurt. I have to come to terms with the fact that I hurt you.
Me: I'm not sure how we resolve this. I'd like to hash things out, and sounds like you don't see the point
NG: Do what you want His standard response when a discussion is not going his way

So guys - not a nice episode but there we have it. This is the guy who said he'll be there to help me heal. So much for the words. Thank heavens I have all of you

I know I have to give this thing time, but man, some days, I just want to walk away and hide in a cave. Ick. Slowly
