So, my friend I was going sailing with had something come up and postponed - I'm available earlier for movies if you guys want. Necessitating another cavalcade of posts! \:\)

And cookie, if Van Gogh was doing the LRT, was Beethoven going dark?

Before I got on here, I just got back from the party, I promised the kids I would do something with them. I do have a few errands to run. I'm going to do one last ditch effort to see if the kids want to get their Dad a present. So far the responses have been,"I don't think he deserves anything", "why?"and "I don't know". Maybe it will be a powerful truth dart that they are sending, but then again, he may just think I didn't bother.

My S14 was the same Kat, didn't want to get his dad a present, but I wouldn't have any of that. I told him he could do that only if S14 was prepared to give up his birthday and Christmas presents, and he wasn't of course! \:\) I'm about to leave, they have a children's book author speaking at the library at 3 and then I have to get groceries at the store, and the kids take forever, plus dinner, so 6:30 or 7 is probably the earliest I can do it. Just let me know!!! And are we watching Waitress right after or doing that another day??? \:\) Karen

I can't watch until 7 anyway! I've got a medicine emergency--can't find my D8s meds that H gave her last night-so I have to meet the pharmacist at 6:30 so he can open the store (only in a small town, huh?). Karen

Just journaling & rambling.

W wanted to sign separation agreement today. I didn't call her. I'll call her monday AM.

I guess this is all for the best. I failed her, and then she failed me. I'd always thought marriage was about helping each other get back up after you fall down, but I guess not. It's just a state of slowly getting on each other's nerves until one of you does something desperate to get out of the situation.

Part of the problem with DB, as I'm sure everyone on here has felt - both WAS & LBS - is, when do I feel respected? If I pour all this energy and emotion into the relationship, when does it get returned in a way I need? Why does it always have to be about the other person and their inability to deal with their issues, or work on things, or say no, or whatever.

And why do men and women understand each other so poorly?! Haven't we had a really long time to figure this out? I mean, I look back on my sitch and I have no clue what the best strategy would be. And it's over! In the movies, you'd chase after them and then look long into their eyes until they melted and everything was okay. In DB, you do the LRT and they start to understand what they're throwing away. In reality? Well. It's complicated and unclear and you may be doing the LRT when they just want you to call them.

Maybe marriage is unnatural - we should change partners every 10 years so that as we change our partners are in sync. Otherwise, we're all just in pain.

Ok. rant over. lodo

Lodo,

I sometimes feel the exact same way. It's like God made men and women SO different, and then He just sits up there, laughing. I mean, I'm SURE He wants us to figure it out, and do it the right way, but why did He make it so damned hard???

LOL - let me know when you've got the answer.

Who knew that the logistics behind getting one creature to stick a little piece of flesh into another creature in order to propagate could end up becoming so d*mn complicated!
