Actually, this time the e-mail turned out well. He responded to me a little annoyed but gave me the context and explanation that I should have gotten that night.
my reply to him was: XXXX: Thanks for the reply. If you had been able to communicate the following last night, I would've been able to create that context. "We wrapped all the shooting for the video last night. This dedicated team who volenteered for my video needed to be acknowledged for all their weeks of work. Normally, you have a "Wrap" party for major milestones like this. The least I could was hang out with them..."
Of course given the above context, Not coming home after the shoot makes sense. Well, to me anyway.
As far as disappointing someone, I'd much rather disappoint just about anybody other then my children and you. But then that's just me. I hope you can soon find a way to balance things a little better for yourself. I'll help if I can. H
Whew, all's well that ends well! LOL
H's reason for delaying Retrouvaille were totally understandable and if he hadn't gone through MLC, I wouldn't even think twice about postponeing it.
Yesterday, I told him I had cancelled the weekend and he immediately jumped in with, "but, you rescheduled it for November, didn't you?"
Gosh, Credo, I sure wish the tramp was out of the picture. At this time, I need to just ignore her. I do believe he is continuing to detach from her, though.
I am finally in the unique opportunity to make him feel so welcomed and appreciated at home that it is drawing him further in. Before, he wasn't interested in anything but his other life.
We've had many positive interactions that I'm hoping can be strung together and counteract any lingering reluctance he has.
As einstein says on his thread: "Happy & Positive interactions are the goal! As positive interactions accumulate the expansion of good is wider than before -this is the goal. It's more important that each interaction laterally expands the relationship in a positive way regardless of the context, content or length of interaction; e.g. if you met for coffee, coffee, coffee -as long as it's a positive interaction, it still has the same positive effect..."
That's what I've been doing and I think it is working. It is also working because it is the right time in this process.
No, I have no more plates to break. I'm hoping that phase is history.
The move was only a mile or so away and we chose the place because of it's proximity to their school.
We are still adjusting to the move. We moved from a small house with lots of built in shelves and storage to a large house with no shelves or storage and we have no furniture.
I'm so happy, I'm culling down our stuff by half.
Soon, we will buy some furniture. LOL
Ohhh, I'm so bummed that you aren't going to be out my way any time soon. I guess I'll have to trek on out to Colorado if I want to see you.
I might just do that. I just reconnected with an old girlfriend who lives there.
I'm sorry about Luke meeting the parents. I think you may be right. Where is his backbone? How can one feel obligated to get a divorce and obligated to marry. These are life decisions????
I'm sorry little girl is unwell. What bad timing. I hope they find out what's wrong with her and that she gets better quickly.
My D had a relapse of her illness this summer. Still don't know what it is. The medical establishment is still following the Lupus diagnosis as a possible explanation. (You have to have 3 or 4 flair ups for Lupus to be truly diagnosed)
Well, I'm sending a big hug your way. I'm so glad you came to visit me over here on the "Piecing" Forum. E-mail me some day, I'd love to hear about the "juicy" stuff happening in your life." Hugs, Holly
