aww! hUGS ladies. Seems we all had a very stressful week or weekend. Dreamy. I don't know what's going on with you and bf, but I took that road "need a break while I figure msyelf out" and IT DIDN'T WORK. I was miserable. he was miserable. Plus he was hurt. I was hurt. If it gets to be too stressful, I'd welcome him back wholeheartedly. Sometimes we push the very people away God intended in our lives because we don't believe we deserve them until we're ready.

Bucket, I had a long distance secretive relationship before. And it was NERVE WRACKING! I wouldn't hear from him for days. I got impatient. Insecure. Finally, I was feeling like a "dirty secret". We had already broken up a couple of times before. And I KNEW I didn't want to do that again.

eventually we came out in the open, and his parents just accepted "we were going to be"

bucket, sorry about your job sweetie! That is rough.

Meredith, it is good for you to come out in the open and just confess. That makes you feel accountable for your actions. I am the same way either good or bad. I hope you find the therapist to be right for you. I never could get into that.

Jen - I've been doing a lot of soul searching the last few lonely nights, and I wrote DB a letter explaining to him what I was working on changing and what I felt needed to be changed about us. Being alone helped me figure a few things out that I felt like I couldn't when he was here. I got so tied up taking care of him and us that I kind of forgot about myself.
I asked him to come home last night. I'll see him when he gets off work today!!

yay! Penelope. You took the time to sort things out, and you realized you wanted him to be a part of the picture. By the way your name is so Romantic. I love it.

I romanticize mine by telling myself it came from "Gueniviere" You know the Queen that had a trist with lancelot.
