She's testing to see if I can be confident and in charge. That's the purpose of the tests. She probably doesn't even know that she is doing it. It's what women do. The confident and in charge ThatGuy has been MIA for a long time. It's what she is looking for. It's what attracted her to OM. Since she's been around OM for awhile though, she sees that underneath he's afraid of confrontation and worried about what others think (just like moi). So if I can shed this resentment cloud that finds me a few days every month, I can consistantly be the ThatGuy that I want to be (that she used to find attractive). Confident ThatGuy is around when I'm with the kids. When I'm with coworkers. With friends. Yesterday at D10's C session, W and I met with the C for awhile. W floored me with all kinds of acknowledgements of what I had been doing to keep the family going. Things she saw as support in her time of confusion and need. I thought she was oblivious all this time.
I am a prize. You are right and thank you for saying so. Sometimes I forget that. Looks like I need to schedule more frequent appointments with my pep talking Schwans man. My GAL has fallen off a schmidge since the new year. My PMA has slipped accordingly. Need to pick it back up.
You are doing a much better job of explaining exactly what I intend to do. My plan is all up here in my head but only about 10% makes out onto the computer screen. So keep picking at my gray matter and you'll eventually see that we are on the same page.
