Hi all!!!! I'm going to try to post & check in here. My internet is working & I am scanning it now....A neighbor's husband came over & is helping me get things back to normal!!

Big shock for me today. I received A DOZEN RED ROSES today from WH. They were a day late b/c I left work early yesterday. He sent them with a note:

"You are loved"

What the heck does that mean? So, o.k. I am in Plan B. I can't send him a thank you or anything.

Melody Lane!!! It is all I can do not to send him a quick text message!!!!! Just a "Thanks"???

ARGH. This is so hard. And I am so confused by his note.

Yeah.....that's a hard one not to reply to, eh?

You know, if you can ignore this....not respond, then he's going to have to seriously re-think his plan and actually meet your Plan B demands.

I mean, yeah.....roses are definitely like Plan B kryptonite, I feel your pain.

Well, this, at least means he's thinking about you, so that can't be bad.

So......my post isn't an answer exactly. I don't want to say "DEFINITELY DON'T RESPOND" because that would make me a giant hypocrite, because lord knows it takes a whole lot less to get a response outta me <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Justempty & Caren --

My phone is sitting right here, just waiting for me to text message him.

He has not once come close to telling me he wants to work on the M. So, I just have to hold out for that.

The roses are beautiful!!! It's hard looking at them and not considering picking up the phone.

He is trying to get me to soften up. No response is SOOOO hard.

By the way, he said(in a note) he sent up a check for the gas bill with DS 2 weeks ago. I never saw it.

Is this a sign he is coming out of the fog?

Woo Hoo Kim! I'm not telling you what to do because I would be on that phone so fast wanting to know more, and then I would be on my rear so fast wondering what hit me!!

Anyway, it means something I'm sure!
Good luck! Mellll??????????

Hold strong and steady. If you do it, he will come. But you want him to come to you for the right reasons, not to eat his cake too. Hold tight and strong, until he breaks contact for sure and follows the map back to you. IMVHO

I am no expert, but I would not respond at all. He hasn't done anything yet but spend a few bucks (which he claims he doesn't have).

Pretend like the card said "You are loved, for your credit rating, because I need a re-fi"

I am wishing the best for you, but until he does something, I would stay dark.
