The other interpretation could be that he thought his "stuff" didn't stink.

But he just wanted to verify the location of the courthouse. He was driving somewhere and our connection wasn't that great.

Anyway, so's the day.

Calling someone for something that you know the answer to is an excuse to talk to you. Why? A desire to do so and trying to gain more information. It means he's thinking about you. I'm not even going to delve into the WS thought patterns beyond that.

Hi 411,

Thank you for your words of wisdom.

I thought as much. I really didn't know what else to say and the connection was bad so I didn't attempt to initiate any other communication beyond confirming what he already knew.

Good. He's thinking about me. He oughta be. I'm Batman. I'm someone who rattled the cages...

Meanwhile, I'm plenty rattled myself!!

Dang! I shoulda let Dino Martino answer the phone. I have him on my answer tones. The song? "Kick in the Head"

Just remember the 3 C's, Charlotte

Calm, Cool, Collected

Remember you're in control as you're not in an A.

Those in an A aren't in control,..... clearly <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Charlotte, you sound like one heck of a character. For someone going through such a terrible time right now, it amazes me that you can bring a smile to people around you. You're a gem!

Thanks Michele G!!

I'm glad I can help bring a smile to someone, I've always loved doing that. I don't know how on Earth I'm able to do it now but I guess my spirit hasn't been squashed to nothing after all!

P.S.) I really AM Batman, you know! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

He'll know soon enough. I think he knows already.

C22:

You mention this:

"And see, this is the kind of thing H always loved about me. He'll never, ever have it with her."

He "always" loved what?

Your ability to make a joke?
Your ability to see funny things in life?
Your ability to manage situations cheerfully?
Your sarcasm?
Your Quick turn of the phrase, so that it was hurtful to him?
Your ability to think quickly and "get" him first?

He "always" loved what?

Why do I ask?

You did an excellent exposure routine.

Your attempting Plan A.

So what happened in your Relationship?

What was the relationship like in the beginning, and what do you think started to go wrong?

Lets explore that.

Ok?

LG I'm not sure I understand where you got this:

from this:

I'm baffled.

All of the above...but on the last one we are talking about funny sarcasm...not anything that hurt H. Funny sarcasm about certain situations, etc. that had nothing to do with us personally...politics, celebrity gossip, etc.

Yes to quick turn of the phrase but never, ever directed at him. Same with thinking quickly.

Our relationship never had the elements of sniping at each other trying to hurt each other. We were never that way at all.

The only sniping that went on started when he started his affair with OW. You can ask Mel about that. She's seen the chat logs.
