Well, I changed my mind and went out to happy hour today. I went with some teachers from my building, and we met at a bar with teachers from the other schools in the district. Of course, OM was there, and was shocked to see me. He made a beeline for me as soon as I came in. I talked to him for a little bit, but only about general work-related b.s. type stuff. Finally when my friend and and I were getting ready to leave, he put his arm around my waist and whispered in my ear that he would call me.

Well...I wasn't gone more than 10 minutes and my cell phone rang. OM left a message, because I didn't pick up! :) I feel pretty good about myself right now. After that whole Pre-Cana business, I guess my outlook has changed.

I may e-mail OM this weekend, I may not. We were supposed to go to a retirement dinner together next Friday, so that is something that I will have to address between now and then.

Anyway, just thought I would share.

I told you were in the driver's seat! The Hitler Youth camp experience is a week old. I can see he is having trouble remembering what his issues are already. Remember what I said in your last thread? - wear a short, black skirt next time. The discussion about the upcoming NFL draft will last about 3 seconds. More power to you!

Circe my friend,

I admire you so much for the strenght you showed in your general conversation, and also in not answering the cell. Good for you sweety!

You are in charge of you. Remember that!

Keep your strength. Go to the retirement party, but don't go WITH him, go in spite of him. You deserve much more.

There IS a difference (in my opinion) in someone that has been married and then realized that it isn't what they want or need, and someone that is entering a marriage under the pretense that they are going to be the perfect H or W, be faithful (when then know that they have no intension of doing so), and so blatently lying to you and to her.

Again, I am only looking out for YOU, and I have no right to judge him, but he can't have it both ways, not at this point in the game. He needs to either back away from you, OR not get married.

I'm here for you as always.

Take care
