Great movie!



I gave it 30 minutes and turned if off. It didn't keep my interests.


So is that all you did for Guy Fawkes day? Dontknow
Neither one of those was yesterday, actually. I didn't do a whole lot yesterday besides finish Deus Ex: HR. I should probably put Red Dead Redemption next, since I've already put a bit of time into it.

You haven't brought up Girly in a while
Huge blowout on Friday. I thought it was okay to tease her about something related to her appearance... apparently we aren't "that kind of friends."

Didn't speak all weekend, had a HUGE argument via IM this morning, wherein she called me a jerk, asshole, dick, etc. and I called her a flaming bitch... many other words were exchanged (did I mention she just had 5 years sober?) and we were poised to go our separate ways.... when she sensed me approaching escape velocity, and pulled me back in by apologizing and saying she wished we could move past all that (less than 30 minutes after telling me we couldn't be friends and I'm a total dick).

And, huge jackass that I am, I said "okay.jpg" and re-entered her orbit, albeit at a slightly higher altitude. And we've been IM'ing a bit since then.

Facepalm I offered her some tomatoes from my final harvest. She still has my DVD set of The Wire/ I suck.

Did you go to her celebration dinner?

Ummm- she doesn't sound very happy joyous and free at 5 years.
Take some time and think about what you really want. Don't you just want a nice calm time?

I'd get the DVDs back just in case, btw.

Part of the teasing was after dinner @ the meeting we all went to immediately following. And I'll go to my grave swearing she was laughing at the teasing & I thought it was fine. Apparently, in her reality, I was an asshole all night but all she could point to was the teasing (which was REALLY minor btw). Anyway.

I want... I don't know wtf I want. I want my DVDs back! laugh out loud But even if I'm out the whole set it's a small price to pay. I need to probably take some time and re-evaluate. And I REALLY wish I'd said "no way, get lost" when she came back and "apologized" and said she wanted to be friends again.

She still hasn't re-friended me on FB either. Annoyed

My sponsor has been telling me to run away from this girl for weeks. He's going to laugh his balls off this afternoon when I tell him about all of this.

Damn you know who'd Defriend and refriend guys on FB, and engage in those kind of behaviours? Me in active addiction.
I have a friend I've been through so much of this crazy with over the years- our commitment issues, our drinking, etc. D. I really always have had a soft spot for this guy for a decade- it must be reciprocal- because otherwise there's no way we'd even talk. So we have some contact now- he texts me once a week to check in. He'd ask me to come over sometimes- flirty Lust
You and I both know that's exactly what I don't need to reinvite into my life, especially in early sobriety. So I told him that a few weeks ago. I can't flirt with you or make plans to see you to hook up. That's my alcoholic behavior and it doesn't work for what I want in life now. I told him I don't even talk to most people I used to know anymore, and I'm accepting and happy with these changes. He was Whoa.
Damn I cried all night. It was releasing my insecurity blanket that I held for so long, but I will never have room for anything else in life I'd I'm still playing games with him. Nature abhors a vacuum. Things may feel empty for a while- but you need empty to fill up with a relationship that's better for you.

He did text me the next week- but it was cordial and not a come on. I set a boundary and I'm proud of that. Now I'm crying again Wink but its ok.

You vote?

Edit: Sorry to hear, I just read the whole post. You'll get through it, don't worry. It's for the best and it is great that you have still kept the same mindset, others would have given in.

hug Sounds like you are making healthy choice. High Five

I need to try that myself sometime. LMAO

I might have to tell Girly that I think her initial assessment was correct - we can't be friends. That might actually be the easier course for both of us. She's trying to fix her past relationships using me just as much as I'm trying to fix my marriage using her. We're both trying to shove the other one into a frame and getting mad when they move out of it. This reminds me of a fight between two eagles where they tear the shit out of each other and both fall to the ground still clawing away at each other's eyes... turns out bad for both of them. She can't be having a nice time of this, either.

What I can't figure out is why I even like her. laugh out loud Anybody else who said the things to me that she's said, or treated me the way she does, would've been kicked to the curb long ago. Yet I soak it up from this chick... I have to keep asking myself what I'M getting out of that... lately what I've come up with is that the relationship is very similar to me & my ex at the end: me chasing her around begging for affection and her being downright mean to me but once in a while acting nice to keep me around.

People do sick things to each other. Down

Yeah that's tough...space is probably best. I've never been one to say "We can't be friends" but I do often just kinda stop letting them into my life until I'm healthier.

Granted what you described sometimes sounds like Phrozt and me...idunno, it's tough...you either work through it or you let it go. Her actions like this aren't cyclical (ie by month) are they? That's I think what happens with Phrozt and me...
