Just a Word

A few people have contacted me with some concern about my thoughts with L.  They are just feelings that I must voice lest they cause problems.  I have no healthy standard to look at relationship wise.  My parents divorced when I was 18 months old, the brother I am in contact with is on his third marriage, and none of my past relationships were healthy.  So I'm still meandering my way through it all.  I hope L and I keep going strong and I'm not looking to bail.  However in moving everything around the house I saw that the pic I gave her of us for Easter is no where to be seen and I do know that she still goes on Match.  While I do remember my old marriage counselor saying that their are no guarantees in life.  I do get comfort from knowing certain things are in place.

Try to watch "Something New" and maybe "Something's Gotta Give" life works out in the grand scheme of things. Every step gets us to who we are next. Try not to self-sabotage or create your reality you are worrying about...self fulfilling prophecy. She may have the pic at her office or wallet etc. Maybe it is getting framed? Ask if you want to know. Life is messy not matter how much we try to put it in order. We have to remember we are not the creator of our own script, as much as we would like to be.

I can relate to that..   that picture thing would probably bother me too.  Unless she is afraid to put it up for fear that you will think, that she thinks that you are "serious."  You said she is very guarded at times.. just like you are.  Right?

Still going on Match.com would definitely bug me.

You could always ask her.  Is she on match for herself, or one of her girlfriends, or?  Does she feel she looks fat in that one photo, or the other reasons?  Still feeling guarded, even if yes in this short time she's gotten fairly comfortable, just has had bad experiences and unhealthy relationsihps of her own?  You're fine:)  And, you're trying not to let past unhealthy crap trip you up NOW.  That says a lot, Mike.  I wish you well, and, hopefully, with L, too.  -- Robin

I think you overanalyse everything mike..I am not saying that in a mean way but you do...I have never "met" a guy who thinks through every single detail like you do..it drives me nuts and I am not dating you!! I would be scared to stare out of the window if I was with you for fear that you would be thinking I was "thinking" something or other....i hope I haven't hurt your feelings i am just being honest..I am nothing if not honest!!
I hope this all works out..I would say just chill man...
