As for the A. MM didn't react well to the email I sent on Friday afternoon. Monday was pretty much NC until right before school was out and then another argument ensued. I basically felt very neglected and he said that he just assumed since I wrote the email I didn't want to talk to him anymore. Who knows what I really wanted. Maybe game playing? To see if he would let me pull the plug on the A this time or not. I guess I got my answer because he kept up the NC til I caved. But on Monday night I found out some things that are going on with his job that I was unaware of. The NO Child Left Behind has definately made his life miserable. He is under the gun each and every day. Also, there was some terrible news about his son having to make a dr. visit to St. Jude's in May. He had not mentioned any of this to me and I found out it's been going on for around 5 weeks.......which would explain the things he was needing to handle on a personal level and why he needed some time. Ok, a woman would have just said what was going on, why can men just not come out and say something????? Anyway, I bake cookies (his favorite) and take them by on Tuesday morning with a note saying I had heard and that I am so sorry and I will still be a "punching bag" if he needs me to be...... As soon as I logged onto my computer he IM'd me asking me if I was busy..............and the dam broke, he talked non-stop all day. Not about majorly serious stuff, nothing about the A or US, just things that he needed to get off his chest............the same thing has been going on so far today. I am not saying much to him, just lots of encouragement and listening..........I don't know what will happen with us and the A, but I told my friend that I am not the primary concern in his life and I am aware of that. This is for fun adn to have someone to be there when we need them and right now that is all I'm going to do and not expect much in return. I hope he sees that I truly do care about him and what is happening in his life.
Please keep your fingers crossed for me in both situations. Thanks for listening guys.
