Hi Nevanna, I think we were posting at the same time...
OK, duh, this makes sense, and this is where the "no expectations" comes into play again, huh? acknowledging the "good stuff" is different than doing it to get a response from him...that does makes sense. Did I know that at one point and forget it?
In response to your post from Friday, I can do the crazy making can't I? Actually, it did occur to me sometime in the late morning that he had been offering reassurances...I hadnt considered that he wouldnt be trying to be nice if he was deep in ow crap, though...now that you mention it, he wasnt nice when he was, for the most part he was cold and distant and grudging and resentful. Sends shivers up my spine to think of it.
