Hi Loretta,
Im sooo glad to hear it's working. Of course you are still going to have ups and downs and please, please keep us informed. My stage is getting closer, I love you's have been exchanged with "no one makes me feel as safe as you do" and we lightly discussed getting back together. She says she is still a little confused but nothing is more important and she misses our little family (no kids just dogs). She evn had our rings out on Sunday and cried because she missed us. She knowswhere I stand, I lover her so very much and want to be back but I'm not pursuing or asking and I think she see's this now. She evn said I was being strong. Underneath I want to be back but she responds so much better to me when I completly back-off. Anyway, our progress is much better, we shall see. Your sit is interesting because of the work that needs to be done even when you are back together. I would try and not focus on the vase, I know this is so important to you. But don't base your happiness on a full vase. I agree, I cant believe he don't get it. I mean, you get soo much more with honey then with vinegar..I dont know why he is shooting himself in the foot, I mean all this work he has done to be back and he cant stop for $25.00 roses or a mixed set of flowers to make you happy..It sounds like he is holding onto someting by not buying them..I mean come on, he must know what you want but maybe he is fighting himself with this one..I dont know, is he a stubborn man? He is acting like he doesnt know and he forgot but I know if you married him he isnt a stupid man...I think there is some reason why he isnt getting them...I would suggest letting it go for now....put the vase away...let him see there is no pressure and see what happens....this is showing me that if and when my wife and I get back together that I pay attention to anything that she needs, wether it's small or large..talk to you soon..
