we're civil to each other, i wouldn't really call us friends though, and there have been occasions where we've seen each other or hung out, but those were planned.

Understood - my ex-wife and I go to coffee sometimes, but I am not remarried. Isn't there a Mr. Truckstop? Not judgin', just uncommon for that to be acceptable to the new guy/gal.

Solo, that last bit should reaffirm that you have done the right thing. Painful but less now than later.

i didn't really want to get into a lot of detail. i was just trying to make the point that it seems weird that solo would be running into this girl a lot.

since i've met mr. ts, (6 years) i've seen the ob a total of maybe 5 or 6 times? mr. ts was present on all occasions.

Sorry, didn't mean to pry. Nice, healthy relationship. Well done.

We are doing all we want to do, at times more than we would like to do. We have no desire to have anyone else make our product, we tried it once, it wasn't pretty. My parents are both retired and I have a decent job. This is just for some extra spending cash and to give my parents something to do.

If it required any more than 1/2 I wouldn't have stood a chance. :o

besides that one guy, where it's taken a long time to get a point of being ok with each other, most of my breakups have been amicable. i don't have opportunity to spend any time with most of them, but we're all friendly.

there's one exception, he's remarried and we see them a few times a year because we have a common hobby. (trackdays/racing motorbikes) they live 14 hours away, but we're all pretty good friends, and our spouses are ok with us seeing each other when they're not around because it's pretty much a non-issue. people think it's weird, but we're all far better off now, and being friends benefits everyone.

my relationship with my husband wouldn't work at all if we didn't trust each other implicitly. for all our other issues, that's the one thing we're pretty good at.

naw, i just didn't want to bore people with the details of my own personal soap operas. ;)

It's snowing here you know.

But I got my ride in. And I lost a little weight. The actual weight reading on the scale is classified, but the Tanita did tell me that my body fat is 41%. I don't think that's even possible, but you never know.

patentcad 12-21-12 02:31 PM

30% I might believe, but 40%+? I don't know about that. Doesn't matter. Pcad rides.

truckstop 12-21-12 02:34 PM

after a week of living off of juice, tea, chicken broth with bean noodles, a couple apples with a little peanut butter, and some bad hummus and pita chips, i have lost exactly zero pounds. yay me!

i think i have a slower metabolism than pcad.

I got called a dick in c&v. You might think that would be upsetting but it really made my day.

Pears are on sale for nine cents a pound. Maybe I should try the all pear diet.

LowCel 12-21-12 02:41 PM

The more I read SA's drama the more it realizes how big of a dumb ass when I was dating the crazy chick and thinking I could help her or "get closure". Crazy chicks are crazy, if trained professionals and doctors can't fix them then there is no way us regular people have any chance.

You can say dick?

Where's a good Pcad's Weight Loss Thread when you need it? The Addiction thread is almost as bad as licking a 9-volt battery. Seriously.

RT 12-21-12 03:06 PM

Oh, here it is.

Pcad, report there.

It's not that I'll run into her a lot. It's that I know it will happen. This last time was all started because we ran into each other at chipotle near my house. I told myself then how over her I was, and all of that. I was lying to myself. Everytime I see her I have feelings for her. It is really strong too. I can't even begin to explain it. I just have to make sure in the future I can control it. There is just no sense in cutting ties changing numbers and all the rest. She will find me. One of the biggest bike races in Ohio is 3 blocks from her house every July. If she wanted to she knows she could find me there. Hell when i go to Christmas at my grandma's in my hometown her mom lives one street over. I'm just looking forward to tonight with the personal trainer, and I hope I can not think about this other situation, and put it out of my head.

I realize how crazy she is now more than ever. When I told her how I felt she pushed things forward in the relationship she was furious and said I was making that all up in my head. She really believes that in her head. I hope she seeks help. I really do for her sake. I didn't get to hit every point that I addressed in the letter, but after hitting the big ones and seeing the response. It just doesn't seem like a good idea. I got most of my points across, and her delusional response turns me away even more.
