nothing or something?

 Mr. Cigar brought my key back to me last night.  I let him in as far as the dining area and we sat at the table while he played with Koda. We talked a little bit, but mostly he made comments about my appearance (unshowered, no makeup and pj's from the previous day) which i shrugged about.  None of his business, i'm not here trying to impress him.  

He made a few comments about me being in my head as usual and i again, shrugged.  I told him he thinks he knows me, but he never bothered to get to know me, to ask me questions, find out what i care about.  He insisted he does know me.  I didn't argue, or tell him why he doesn't.  

I told him every conversation with him is circular, it goes nowhere.  He's always right and He can't step back to see someone elses perspective.  If it's different than his, it's wrong, or stupid.  He tried to give me his charm, and make me laugh, which i rolled my eyes at.

I don't have to participate in the "make nice" when i have nothing to lose.  If he doesn't like it, he is free to go.  Which i told him.  He said if he didn't want to be there he wouldn't be.

I did get a chance to tell him that i don't believe the bullshit act of "i don't know what i'm doing" when he runs several successful businesses and knows how to manipulate and sell himself.  I told him he is charming when he wants to be and that makes him an even bigger asshole because it's not genuine, it's manipulative.

He insists that women don't want to be treated well.  I told him he should go date those women then.  

I told him he is emotionally vacant and unavailable.  That he plays games with emotions and that I never felt safe with him.  He said that turned me on.  I told him just because we had a smoking hot physical connection didn't mean i hadn't had that before, or that it makes him special.  I enjoy sex, i'm fun in bed and i've NEVER had any complaints.  He shouldn't try to take credit for what i already do, with, or without him.

I don't think he liked that.  Not sure that i care.  It's true.  

I don't need a man for sex, that is easily obtained.  I wanted more from him, and he didn't have it to give me.  Thats what i told him.  My needs are emotional - i require affection, adoration, caring and demonstrations of love.  None of which he can or ever has given me.

I asked him why he is always so negative. (something he accuses me of)  He is unable to say anything positive, or nice about me or our time together.  This may have stumped him.  

He is great at changing the subject and every time he did it i called him on it.  I told him his avoidance is consistant.  That he can't have serious conversations that he is not in control of.  

Pretty much i had a conversation with him where i was 100% present as myself, without any tenderness towards the outcome.  The outcome has already been established.  Yes, i have feelings for him, no he will never be able to make me happy.  He does not have what i need. And i'm not a project.

I told him i was in contact with Mary pretty much daily and he already knew that.  So he says.  She did tell him some things i had told her and i stated that i was not in the business of playing he said she said.  I told him if I was there when he came home fall down drunk and projectile puked all over the house, i would have left his ass there and then.  

He reminded me that i always leave.  I can't argue it's true.  I told him that i leave when there is drama and upset.  So yes, i leave him a LOT.  Proving my point to myself.

He did try to touch me a few times and i told him to knock it off.  When he tried to say anything flirtatious i just rolled my eyes.  I did allow him to grab my foot and put it in his lap at one point, as he held on to my ankle and pulled my forward in my chair.  I put the brakes on before i could get too close.  Was the chemistry there?  Yes, of course it was.

But the lack of accountability, the constant deflection, the inability to hear what i was saying will never be less important than the physical, and very limited, contact he offers.

He called me after he left and asked me if i felt better now?  I asked him better how?  I told him he can't give me what i need, and that's not likely to ever change.  Hell, he tells me that i DON'T want what i clearly want.  So how should i feel?

I'm not sad, i'm resigned.  Seeing him always gets my heart jumping, but thats because i know it's going to be a wild, unpredicatable ride.....no stability, no transparency......just more games and drama and never knowing WHEN.  I don't need it, or want it.

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...
