Yes GEL, I know you’re right. Since I ride a motorcycle to work nearly every day, and since I come to work way before there’s any traffic, I have plenty of time to think during my commute. No radio or anything you know. So this very morning, on the way in, I was thinking almost exactly what you just said. When am I going to say something and what something am I going to say? Should I wait until she provokes me again? Like bringing home yet another animal? Should I try to schedule a discussion? It’s kind of hard to talk to her when she’s not even there.
Another truth is that I haven’t even started my list yet. I don’t know what to put on it. I don’t even know what the major problem is. Are the animals the problem – she’s just so committed and so busy with them that she’s ignoring everything and everybody else – or is the amount of time she’s spending on the animals just a way of avoiding the real problem(s)? Do I talk about the dogs, or do I just talk about not feeling that I’m important to her? Or maybe both? I suspect that I’m just diverting myself again, but I feel like I need to come up with a plan before I start talking.
