What would be the point if nobody could see you accessorized with a nearly worthless excuse for attention. I suggest you 6 1 2 :rolleyes:
But if I'm an attention ***** it's okay, right?

That song wouldn't sound bad with a band behind it.

I already have a song title for the blues number about your love saga. I'm calling it 'Gun Shy'.

Have you planned an "it's not me, it's you," speech?

In seriousness, I hope that goes as planned - she doesn't seem to be ready for a relationship and it's not fair to you to subjugate your life in the hopes that she'll be ready for one with you in the future.

Well we have dinner plans, and we plan to talk about things. Honestly, when I found out about her depression I should of done this then. Out of my own fears, and my own desires, I didn't want to let go. I was afraid of loosing her again. I let myself get in the say of what she really needs. Also it's Sunday not Saturday. I don't know how I screwed that up but I did.

Yeah, she needs to figure herself out. I'm not really ready for anything right now myself. I don't really feel the need to seek out a woman. I just have faith that when the time is right it will just happen. I could be doing myself a disservice by not actively looking, but who knows. I am content being alone.

I suspect that might not say what you think it says.

I wish you would not have said that. Those are the doubts I have in my head. I feel like I am being a coward letting go. I really think it is what she wants and needs however. I have to somehow make sure she doesn't take this has me abandoning her.

I am fine. I am just worried about her. She has talked about suicide you know.

This is why Gary is right about this Solo. All the kidding here won't seem so funny if it turns out this way.

That being said. Not talking to her this week is hard as a result. I have the thought that me pulling back could result in her blowing her brains out. The only thing that makes me think she won't is I don't think she could do that to her dad.

one's need for help working through things is not based on the relative stability of another. it is not comparative. nor is it some kind of scarlet letter. your concerns abut her, the misguided and altruistic ones are indicative of this. if she has talked suicide a million times so.

So what do you think I should do? I can work through anything. I am a road cyclist for crying out loud. Nobody knows self loathing like us.

I think you're being wildly unskillful if you don't meet with a therapist trained in these matters.

I'm not the least bit concerned about myself. I know I'll be fine.

Or are you saying I should meet with a therapist, to make sure I am doing the right thing? Would you just say what you mean, and quit talking in riddles.

you really don't get much of anything do you?

it's about her and how you interact with her and her threats as much as anything.

stop playing the role of gun nut tough guy.
