1) Phone call: "Are you ready to begin working with me on our marriage?" If Yes, then "Then do you accept my fist step?" ...etc. In No... then "We'll talk when you are ready..." CLICK

2) EMAIL: No reply

3) IM: Have her blocked and deleted

4) TM: No reply

SHOWS UP AT DOOR: I Freak and turn into Caren!!!!!! (Sorry Caren - no disrespect - that's an option I worked on all night long and still have no answer....)

Hmmmm I don't believe I've ever been used in a sentence to describe weakness before....let's do it more often though. When someone breaks their plan B we can call it "Pullin a Caren" Or when someone LB's we can just start calling it OMG You totally "Carened Out" on that one, or when you get mad and snap you could be Carenfied.

Yeah....that'll work, Oh I'm sorry David....did you need those kneecaps?

Good job,,,,,,,,,this can be the 1st day of the rest of your life. Please remember this:

YOU EITHER CREATE OR ALLOW EVRYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOU IN LIFE

In this, I mean, you are now in control here. You have to take 100% responsibility for your life and the way you respond to outcomes and responses that you DON'T like in life.

Be strong, take it minute by minute here.

As I told our good friend caren:

For the principles to work, you have to work the principles.

Cheers <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

David-

I think you picked the wrong day to start using illegal drug terminology LMAO. You DROP acid, David!! You remind me of my Mom she was always asking me if I'd ever smoked a marijuana. She also went into the drug store when we were little and was trying to get us that *pop rocks* type candy, but it was called "Space Dust"....so what does my Mom go in and ask for? Yes...that's right she said "Do you have any ANGEL DUST" LMFAO.....yeah mom...they don't sell PCP at the drug store...good try though.

Just got the proverbial phone call....Still the same danged thing..."Do you need money? Food ? Are you all right?" What on earth is that - not exactly what I expected........

I have to explain the irony of the TMs and phone calls - CJ can explain this better than I - she may show up soon (I hope).

My wife is an ESTJ. I am an I/ENFP. There is NO way that an ESTJ can comprehend the idea of 'how are you 'feeling' - she's nutz! I can't comprehend the idea of jumping to a 'J' - just 'feels' wrong......
Make sense?

I may post a lot tonight - I'm in a little bit of cornfusion, mixed with relief, fear and a sense that I made a huge mistake. I may drive people nuts. If anyone gets irritated at me, please forgive me. I'm just a country bumpkin and have been kicked in the nads one too many times. I am scared, happy, lonely, and in the same place that I know many , many of you have been. (No, I'm not an uneducated bumpkin - I am majoring in psych) - it's just that I love the simple life, and want things to go simple and easy. And I hope y'all can bear with me.....I'm not myself tonight.

Feel like getting DRUNK.

David
