Number of Times Daily U Think of MM?
| Fri, 05-07-2004 - 12:15pm |
i thought it would be an interesting experiment today, to count how many times xMM comes into my thoughts. So far i am up to 20--and the day is young. After i tally this for the day, i am going to slowly start reducing the number, somehow.
So, how many times do you think you think of MM or xMM?

There are some days that I can go a good couple of hours w/o a thought of him. And when I do think of him I can brush it off quickly. On the other hand, there are the days that that he is all that I think about. I can get stuck very easily in a 10-15 minute thought many times throughout the day.
I am going into day 3 of NC. I am trying sooooo hard not to make a call or send an email.But that doesn't stop me from checking mine a million times. I have a feeling he's fighting with his W about moving again, somewhere she doesn't want to move to. I always found it so weird that when he and his wife would be on the outs about something, he would pull back from me. But when things were fine, which was really most of the time, he was gun ho to mess around. Men, go figure.
I have had to put away everything he ever gave me, ie. earrings, bracelet, a crystal bottle (which he gave me when we were trying to stop once, to bottle up the energy that wouldn't go away, it didn't work). I have one photo of him I keep hidden in my checkbook that I look at to make me feel ????????. This is a sad position to be in.
I think it is the lack of control of my feelings that's the worst. When I think of all the stuff I have going on right now, I have a 21 year old son that's a Marine in Iraq, a 16 year old daughter, enough said, and both of my parents are going down hill, my emotions are so raw. It only takes a somewhat sentimental TV commercial to get me all choked up. Poor me, huh
tomorrow i will work on thinking of him 44 times. that's my goal.

"Why Men Don't Listen and Woman Can't Read Maps" and it really addresses how and why we think differently. They use a lot of humor, so it's entertaining and enlightening at the same time. They even reference scientific evidence to back up what they are saying in the book.
I was telling my H this morning that I wish I had read this book years ago. He's in the process of reading the second in the series, "Why Men Don't Have a Clue and Woman Always Need More Shoes" and I think he is understanding me a little more than he use to. He seems to be a little more in tune with me and it is helping our relationship tremendously. I can't wait until he finishes it so I can read it.
So to answer your question, yes I do think they think of us. They just have a different way of dealing with all of it.
