FL,

The rest of you skip this post!!

In Fight Club they got jobs as waiters and did really disgusting things to the food.

Good movie but twisted. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Dobie back in Sept I was in a wedding, all of us girls were in the bathroom, had waaaaay too much to drink, huge hotel, 7 other receptions going on. One of the girls says to another, OMG, why are you all red, the girl replies, it is an Irish tan, another girl walks out and says, and Oriental tan????? I died laughing and said, does she look Oriental to you??? (she was the whitest girl ever) as I'm speaking, an oriental mother with her two daughters walks in, from one of the other weddings. I DIED!!! What are the odds???

Finally - I'm talkin to you - you talkin to me??!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

No, R - haven't seen "Fight Club" (I don't think) - what's it about?

Dobie - that's about as bad as a convo I had with my H a couple weeks ago, on 2-way radio...I'm now paranoid to even talk on it to him...I was going on about how being back at work kindof sucked because of the changes and the extra work, not to mention the end of year stuff...so I finally get done, and he doesn't respond right away, then the phone beeps, and it sounded like he said "Yah" so I said "Alright, I'll talk to you later, Love you, Bye" And my boss's wife says "I love you too, thanks!!" OMG, I could have died - somehow, after I let go of the button, and before H could chime back in, she broke the link, so THANK YOU GOD!!! all she heard was the last "ILY" part, but OH MAN am I chicken to say ANYTHING on it now!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

You're young. You have an easy, well-paid deskjob. You have a condo, Swedish furniture, artistic coffee tables and a fridge full of condiments. Yet you feel emotionally and spiritually empty. You eventually find comfort in going to support groups for lukemia and cancer victims when there's nothing wrong with you until they're hijacked from you by another faker. Then you meet Tyler Durden, a man that shows you that not only can you live without material needs but that self-destruction, the collapse of society and making dynamite from soap might not be such a bad idea either.

OH! Sorry I asked! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Sounds like something H would enjoy though -

We watched a 1987 movie last evening "Suspect" - only caught the middle and end, but it seemed like a good movie, even if Cher was in it - at least she had on clothes and did a decent acting job! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Robby –
OK, here’s the post I promised…Yesterday, you asked if (implied that) since I (we) chose reconciliation and rebuilding of our marriage, does the new “pain” we feel now seem self-inflicted? Well, I’d have to say that to me, the pain is no more self-inflicted than the pain experienced at child-birth…I didn’t exactly enter that situation with the idea that hey, this is gonna hurt. However, yah, I guess from some outside-looking-in-point (wherever that point might be?) it may seem self-inflicted. After all, wouldn’t the “easy” thing be to cut all ties and walk away? But, to me, that’s like saying “OK, somebody broke into my house and stole my favorite whatever, so, rather than fight to get it back from them, they can just keep it and I’ll do without.” That’s not gonna happen IRL, and it usually doesn’t happen in M either. Is the pain any “Duller” or “different than the old pain”? to me, not really…as Bob said yesterday, Pain is pain. Everybody has a different threshold and what I can take you might not be able to and vice-versa. Does it give me a focus, H!!! yah! H and I had a convo on those lines just last night – that sometimes I feel like I have to try twice as hard to make sure he stays “interested”…I told him it puts a lot of pressure on me, because I feel like I have to validate both of us…I’m content, but he doesn’t understand how that can be…go figure!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> Anyway, focus? Yes, and it gives us both a goal to keep each other excited and make things new, now knowing that falling could happen to either one of us. (Somehow, H had it that he was "exempt" because his first W cheated on him, so he "knew how it felt" and "would NEVER do that" - be careful what you say "Never" to!!)

As for a new beginning, yah, it’s a new beginning for my sitch – we don’t even try to talk about the last 3-4 years – it’s as though they never happened – we don’t/can’t revisit anything done within that time, because it suddenly floods memories of the Dday this past summer. BUT, I see that easing with time…kindof like the way a woman eventually “forgets” the actual pain associated with childbirth…you don’t forget the event, just the pain involved. And, you don’t really forget the pain, it’s just not as hurtful to remember, does that make sense at all?

Recovery is definitely a process, and it does have it’s own ups and downs, just as you said, but it’s a ride I’m willing to be on. I don’t blame or look-down-at anyone who is not able or even willing to go this route with me…as I said, everyone has their own level of what they’ll take. But, as I said (to LemmonMan the other night), my limit is here, another A would be a deal breaker for me…and honestly, if that happened, my attitude about this whole statement I just made would change, and suddenly, I probably would say I did it to myself. But, for now, I’m looking to the positive, taking it one day at a time, and counting my blessings while I go.

Another blessing might would have been to start fresh with someone who knew nothing of the events, a clean slate, if you will…See what you have to look forward to? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> You already know how to Plan A you tushie off, the next lucky lady will be just that, lucky! And, as for your W, well, who’s to say it won’t be her? People change, and (imo) time really does heal all wounds.

SIGH!! OK, enough seriousness for now - didn't you read my quote today? He who laughs - lasts!!!! (PS by Wilferd A. Peterson)

In some weird, sick, twisted way, I think we all need each other! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />
