Dear Cupid, Explain this shit.....

...... because I am a tad puzzled.

Yesterday was a wonderful day. I was pampered, fawned over and given gorgeous flowers and a basket of cushy foo foo stuff lovingly put together.

Life is good, right?

That was followed by an amazing dinner at one of my favorite restaurants.

I then cuddled in bed, watching tv, relaxing. Then.... we watched a movie. A movie that should have been a reaffirmation of love and commitment....


The movie, Fireproof, is strong. It focuses on very difficult, very real, marital problems.

Just as the movie reached the harshest point before it began turning for the good, J got up and left the room.

A few minutes later he returned briefly doing the rounds, locking doors etc and then he went to bed.

Seems simple. It PISSED me off.

So I sat there on the couch, weeping for the story of a man and woman finding their way back to one another, alone.

Seeing things through.
Sticking to it.
Making the commitment to figure it out because neither are giving up.

That's the attitude in my house. That is the feeling coming through. So last night affected me so deeply, and yes, over a movie, because he gave up.

Or at least that's the most sense I can make of it at 9 30 this morning.

What a pisser......

((Update: Yeah I'm emotional, and yes I am tying too many unrelated issues together giving them a greater meaning than they should have. But love makes you a little insane I think.))

That SO sucks !! Mostly because it sounds like something my husband would do. Men just don't get it, do they ?

Barbara- Thank You friend. Hey, I'm going to call you out. Where is this free time you said was coming for you? Call or write soon.

Tamy- It's long gone now. Thanks.

Auburn Haired Artist- They really don't.

I am not a high maintenance girl, but for some reason this really struck a nerve w/ me.
