You're welcome Tim, and yes, NYS, that makes perfect sense. My W is the same way. What I thought about her never meant a damn thing. I could tell her she's beautiful a million times, a million different ways, and just didn't register, but if someone else said it, she was on cloud nine. I hate that because I am honest with her. If she asks me to be, I tell her ways for her to improve (I was a fashion photographer so...) but 9.9 times out of 10 she is drop dead gorgeous without lifting a finger. I really think that and I am a long way from the fog of "in love". Seems as though it may be changing a bit. Twice lately I have told her how great she looked and she got shy about it and seemed at least to notice I said it. Of course that was probably guilt, but once again, oh well. I am just happy to make it through each hour with some sanity left, and you all help with that! After last weekend's near breakdown, I really want to make sure I have the intestinal fortitude to not ever be that low again. The only way that will happen is if I build myself a floor to slam into before I hit hell!

P.S. If any of you want to talk off-board for some reason, I post my email. Some of you have dropped me a line and I appreciate that. You have become important in my life and I would like to be able to stay in touch if you are amiable to it. If you are trying to remain semi-private, just create yourself a new email account (like I did) and make sure it's set to not display your full name in the email.
