Mightymom: My story brought out a lurker! I am truly honored. I certainly don't hold anything against you for being a WAS.
As for using humor, you obviously know that, if this were a class, I would be one of the class clowns. Unfortunately, my humor tends to fall flat with my W. I guess I haven't tried it recently, since everything seems to be so heavy around here, so maybe I'll see how it goes over. As you can imagine, my humor is certainly one of the things that drew her to me in the first place. In fact, it was the more cynical,facetious type of humor that I used on her at first, because I felt there was nothing to lose: she was living in a city 2.5 hours away...I didn't think it was likely the R would go anywhere.
Anything's worth a try.
I really appreciate you chiming in and giving your 2 cents plus inflation.
Don't be such a stranger. I think a lot of us could benefit from the point of view of a WAS. And maybe you'll learn something from us as well.
