Gord and I are friends.

Turns out - although I tried to be in a romantic relationship with him - I just can't trust him right now.

Gord has to keep dealing with his tenant right now, until the tri-plex is sold - and part of that dealing is being friendly with her.  Makes sense - have to seem friendly in order to get the most helpful behaviour in ( Read more... )

G and I are back together now!

Although I didn't want to talk about any of the issues - we were able to resolve quite a few of them once the pressure was off.  You know - the pressure to resolve everything NOW.

There were fears on both sides about saying we were back together - mainly that we wouldn't be able to resolve everything and would break ( Read more... )

Well, my big mouth got me into trouble again!
I have to learn how to stay silent - when someone says something negative to me about somebody else, I have to learn how to NOT let it come out later.  Especially if I'm upset with that "somebody else."

- I tend to get scared and push him away when we talk about it, so it's better we don't.
We've decided to focus on the ( Read more... )

Been thinking a lot lately.  I know - perfectly natural to do that...

Was wondering about something...

For the last 4 weeks, since I broke up with G, we've been talking - trying to see if there's anything that can be salvaged in our relationship ( Read more... )

Been thinking about risk-taking lately ( Read more... )

Example #1
A man has several train models.  He has put tracks through the walls over his house, and has a master control switch in the living room.  That way, he can have trains coming through the walls whenever he wants.  Definitely perma-single behaviour.  A man who wants to be in a relationship would know that no woman would find holes in the ( Read more... )
