Bedroom humor and no one with whom to share
Feeling sorry for myself bc I miss him, but I was just sitting peacefully at my desk getting some work done and all of a sudden the top button on my dress without any cause shot off and pinged against the wall, slid down the side of my desk and made a small thud on the floor beneath my feet, leaving an inappropriate amount of cleavage exposed. I literally started laughing out loud and instinctively grabbed my phone and snapped a picture with the intent of sending it to the ex. He has always been a huge fan of the "twins" and this is the type of thing that would have us each in tears laughing and red in the face. Instead, I'm in tears out of sadness that I don't have him to share this with.
I'm trying hard to be strong and not send it bc I know I would be opening a window for flirting and that's not what I want. I wish I could just turn memories of him off in my head and this pain to subside.
And now I'm all drafty and am petrified that the next button is going to abandon ship.
People are placed in and taken out of our lives for a multitude of reasons. My faith has me looking upward so I might stay on my path, forward to reach my future and to either side for the ones to walk near me on my journey.
Re: Bedroom humor and no one with whom to share
My mom lives with me (she rents the apartment in my basement) and one day in the mail she got the big envelope of porn from Adam & Eve. It cracked me up and immediately wanted to tell XH because he would find it hilarious. It made me a little sad that I didn't have that person to share these things with....so I came to work and told my friends here and we all giggled about it. It's definately not the same, but still fun to share with someone!
Be strong! Don't send it!
That is really funny, though! I wore a shirt to work one day that kept riding down lower and lower and lower all day...I kept having to pull it up to keep myself decent!
If you feel the need to send it to someone, send it to me
I just died laughing! And your post was almost the demise of the next button!
The Adam and Eve catalogue is hilarious!
I sent the pic it to a girlfriend asking her if she knew how to sew. She thought it was hilarious. Not the same as if I had sent it to him, but I can't keep do this to myself.
We've all been there. For the first few months I would use the dumb words that XH and I would say in our own "language" and my mom kept correcting me. It made me terribly sad.
It's hard to break habits from a relationship and it is very sad to not to have that connection with someone anymore. I'm glad you had a friend to send it to though.
YGPM back
I love a comedian! I wondered if one of our male peers would chime in. I wouldn't know how to post a pic if I wanted to! Lame-O.
I think you posted yesterday about redheads and I thought about you today bc a girlfriend started an EHarmony account for me and I find it a great distraction, but a ginger denied me today and I was a little sad. He was one of the few guys I have found even remotely attractive since being on there.
Not to sound conceited, but I consider myself to be more attractive than he is, I'm smart, have a good career, great friends and family, similar interests... My feelings were hurt this morning for a little bit until I realized some people aren't for everybody.
I hear ya. When I was new to on-line dating I had to keep telling myself to not take it personally. People are either into you or they are not!! Just need to move onto the next...it can be a grind!!! LOL
