Is it good or bad or does it not matter

I had a whole conversation with Darryl over the weekend and also with Carlos.  

My bestie would have a cow if she knew i'm in contact with either one.  Thats why i don't tell her.

It's really no one's business.  Even yours. (assuming anyone else reads this)

I spent many years with Darryl.  Good, bad, ugly.....we know each other very well.  And now that we aren't together, we can be brutally honest with no consequence to the relationship.  It's not like someone is gonna end up on the couch.  I feel there is love there, tainted, but there.  We were never meant to be together forever.  We probably stayed together entirely too long.  But .......we know each other and there is a comfort in that.

So sometimes we talk, and he tests the waters on if he can get some (he IS a man) and that gets shot down because i can't even imagine that.  Don't WANT to imagine that.  Nope.  He's my friend, kind of.  I can't talk to him about men except vaguely; he doesn't want to hear it.  I try to lift him, but he has to do that on his own now.  The man can do it, he just doesn't.  

Carlos?  I was able to ask him why not me?  What made me undateable?  Because really, thats been the burning question in my mind.  He told me he just wasn't in love with me.  and that it wasn't fair.  He described me as "crazy, sexy, fun"........and I don't think thats a bad description.  Pretty accurate.  Maybe if i hadn't of pushed it we would have had time for him to see my heart, my serious side.....it just wasn't meant to be.  As much as i thought he was hidden from me, i was hidden from him as well.

It's scary to put your self out there.  So be crazy, sexy fun because who doesn't enjoy that?  right?

Why have i never reached out to my ex husband?  Because i don't value his opinion.  Because i have no love for him.  He probably didn't do it on purpose but he did a great job of destroying my ego.  He was mentally abusive.  I was nothing without him so he said.  He isolated me from the world and no, i have no interest in his opinion, or his current life.  

I still have nightmares about him.

I can't entirely blame him.  We were kids.  We had no adults to step in and say "this isn't healthy".....no direction was given.  We fucked it up.

Happy men don't develop a drug habit.

This Marine, he had left me quite a few voicemails that i finally listened to.  He was another just like my ex husband.  Lots of nasty things to say about me now that i don't want him.  he actually said "I only did ONE THING, not talk to you in your home (said it mimicking me) and you dumped me?  You are ridiculous" blah, blah blah.........

Yeah bud.  One time is all you get to treat me like that.  Fuck right off.  

"all the good things i did for you"........meaning?  You get to treat me like shit sometimes?  

I'm gonna end up single because no fucking way is treating me good going to be a "pass" for treating me poorly become acceptable. Ever.  A fight or a disagreement is one thing.......calling me names, being disrespectful?  No.  Not ever.  

I don't care who you are.

I love ChatGPT

 I am extremely transparent with my emotions because i do not have the ability to NOT be.  My only option when i'm having any feelings is to talk in a very low, slow, monotone voice and keep my face as blank as i possibly can. Unless they mean something to me. Unless i care about them and how they treat me.  So while i'm perfectly okay with never seeing or hearing from Mr. Cigar again, in light of his true self unveiling, I am overthinking my expression of emotions to him.   I took this little conversation and put it into ChatGPT with no questions or directions and this is what i got back: This exchange captures a painful and emotionally charged moment. Your initial message was heartfelt, vulnerable, and expressed a genuine desire for connection and acknowledgment. His response, while polite on the surface, carried a sharp undercurrent of blame and finality—deflecting accountability and subtly rewriting the narrative as your fault. Ending it with “safe travels ...

Same stuff

 Nothing new to report.   I've been managing my anxiety, trying to, at least.  I know when it's kicking up and i know it's temporary.   Still doing physical therapy, walking, stretching, losing weight VERY slowly.  Not so easy to lose it at my age.  But i have an appointment in September to discuss hormone replacement and i think that may help me out with body aches and lethargy. Mr. Cigar is as busy as ever, yet always manages to make me feel important in his life.  It's been only 3 months and that shocks me a little bit.  Feels like it's been so much longer.  The pace is perfect, and it's nice to not have to make power moves with him.   I need to see my kids.  I think about them daily and know they have busy lives.  But i feel disconnected sometimes.  Same with some of my friends.  It's really hard for me to reach out.  To anyone. And i've also been enjoying my "do absolutely nothing" time. ...

Sunday funday

 I stayed in bed until 8am.  Yes, i was scrolling my phone, but still........i was in bed.  Also, i made coffee and brought it BACK to bed.....so yes, technically, i remained in bed until 8am. I have a hard time staying up past 9pm.  And then i can't sleep past 6:30 at the latest.  When did that happen? Yesterday, i was ready for bed by 7pm at the birthday party.   I got to hold, okay, i TOOK the 6 day old premie babie and cradled his little body for a longggg time.  I layed him in my lap so i could see him, and he could strettttttttch his tiny body.  This little boy, normally, would still be baking in the womb.......but here he is, tiny and mighty, in my lap.  His tiny hands, his tiny FEET.  OMG.  New mamma was happy to be with her family and socialize, but new daddy, stayed close.  He talked about all the things CJ does already.......sleep, eat, poop.   He is a very nice young man, very in tune with his sons wh...
