Regarding the guy that gave you flowers on V-day and those follow up texts you mentioned in below post...
I just have to say that your very first gut feeling/reaction was spot on before you gave him a second chance. You have a very good head on your shoulders.
You inspire and remind me to always follow our gut feelings and not disregard them for anything we try to interpret. Thank you!
Re: :Achase:
Thank you Heavenly. I think that's what all of this is supposed to be teaching me. Follow my gut and don't question it.
The part that is most upsetting about everything is my BFF. I called her to tell her I was getting creeped out and breaking things off with him. I wasn't asking her for advice, I was simply updating her on the situation. She'd had too much wine and proceeded to yell/lecture at me for about ten minutes about how I will push every guy away because I'm too picky and don't give anyone a chance. Her mantra is that because I was in an abusive marriage, I'm such damaged goods that I do not know a good thing when it looks me in the face.
I told her that's not the case at all and I have learned to actually LISTEN to my gut feelings as opposed to ignoring them as I did the entire time I was with XH.
I was really shocked and upset by her reaction. She's on vacay right now but I plan to have a serious talk with her when she comes back about how her outburst really hurt me. She did send me a follow-up text apologizing and saying she trusted my judgement but I was still upset by it.
I really hope your conversation with your BFF works out for the better. I think with others say so much like what your BFF said; it?s really more about them than you. It is almost as she was expressing how she was feeling about herself whether she realizes it or not.
