...Something like "Worry stops where Faith begins" ?


So here is where I am taking that step. I am cautious by design so we'll see. I finally could no longer take the un-talked about issue of knowing Broom Hilda was in the picture. I know it's been one sided- she calls BE and she is the one who was persistent. But two nights ago I finally told BE- I need her out of the picture- a break in her emotional tie to him, he needs to let her know that once and for all. He needs to stop letting her hang her figurative head on him. I've had it.


He agreed and he will not call her back and if and when she calls he is going to stop reacting and responding to her needs for emotional support. This has been a monster in our relationship- he did not even realize how much it effected me-

I am so happy for you--you stuck to your guns and BE is responding positively to what you told him (without nagging!!)

Great move. I would have totally done that. Great that he is trying to quit drinking. That is very positive.


So are you and BE living together now?

Wow PacSun this is an encouraging post - and I think BroomHilda will be gone. And it is great that he is entertaining the thought of saying bye bye to his drinking. Keep us posted.
