WHAT is his deal? (Page 2)

I think you should return his call. Make sure you do it when his wife is home and he is not.

Ehhh... last night I was watching a wonderful documentary about Bob Dylan and decided that I would call him and find out what he wanted instead of sitting there, dreading his next call.

He said that he wanted me to have drinks and dinner with him and MY friends! I said "Remember when I saw you in May? I told you I don't want to see you again. Well, I don't want to see you again. For future reference, No, I don't want to see you  or have dinner." He thought that I might have changed my mind. I haven't!

Max, you are right - he really can't abide the idea that I won't allow him in my life. He takes it as a rebuke and his ego can't accept that.

Tim, I don't have his home phone number. Just his cell. His marriage is between him and his wife; she'll have to figure it out for herself.

p.s. Cancelling dinner plans on Friday with my friends. By letting him in their lives, they allow him a wedge into my life. They don't want to be in the middle of it but by allowing him in their life they are putting themselves in the middle of it. I won't dictate to them but I can decide what kind of boundaries to draw for myself.

Please post a copy of the email here.

Yes! Thank you, Hollis.

She's a Howler Mommy.

Tim, I have no doubts that he didn't tell his new wife that a) he met with me and b) he didn't tell me he was married. There is lots she will learn about him, stuff much bigger than trying to see me. What is the old wedding joke? You tell the groom "congratulations" and the bride "Good luck."

The only phone number I have for him is his cell phone; I don't have his new address (no reason to ask for it). Calling or emailing his mother will put an immediate and permanent end to it (if it should continue). He fears her more than anybody in his life.

Sheila! I had no idea you had that in you! I'm impressed...

Thanks for making me burst out loud.

Wow...he IS a little boy!!

Tell his mommy, that you're not interested in little boys. You grew up and interested in dating a MAN.

This issue (a significant one) aside, I really don't see what the exchange has to offer you (anymore). It just seems to be like that old comfortable couch that has the permament indent in it. It no longer has proper support, its ugly, and induces laziness....but too easily you can find comfort in it. We know we got to get the old memory muscles retrained, eh?
