A little post while cleaning the house before my sister arrives!
Yesterday, while shopping in town, I bumped into OW1 again. We passed each other twice while shopping at the fresh produce market and passed by as if we didn't know each other. I really do feel I have nothing to say to her, so as far as I am concerned, she will be treated just as any other stranger in the street. Suits me, and I am glad I have got over all the disruptive/exlplosive feelings I have had for her over the past two years.
Another thing I have noticed in the past week or two, I have had three different men touch me lightly (on the arm, for example) during a conversation or joke. Perhaps my demeanour has changed subtly and I am now less closed in and more open to light and gentle flirting? Maybe.
I would like to start a dicussion one of these days about what kind of men we have attracted in our lives and if there is a pattern, and if there are red flags we should look out for. I have been dumped by three guys in my time, and the dumping always happened after I went away on a trip on my own, for my work. Is there something in this? These guys cannot stand to be left "unattended" for even a few weeks or a month or two? Two of these guys I adored.
The other day older guy rang his aged mother while we were out, as he always does, to check up on her - a green flag in my book. But he calls her by her SURNAME! At first I couldn't believe he was calling his mother. I asked him about it, and he said he had always called her by that name, not as mother or Mum. There seemed to be no particular reason. Is this kind of thing strange and does it "mean" anything, I wonder?
Ok, I'm off now.
By the way, Michele, I will repond on your thread when I find a moment later...
