Well, thanks for being a good example to all and putting the feelings of others in front of your own "reptile" desires. And for being honest with her about it. That says a lot about you, in my opinion and not knowing you from Adam.

Just thought I'd drop a little quote, from none other than Pepie Le Pew - the original expert of lovvvve!!! (or the original expert of unrequited love, which is what seems to be going on here!) ;)

"Love, she is blind, no?"

there's no explanation. It never makes sense!
God help us all!! And I hope everyone here finds their packages, whatever they are! (including me!) :))

Fun blog here, NY. Are you really a diver?

Actually freewriter, despite my original post, this conversation is really more about Jo-Anne and I.

Wow, interesting conversation here…

I must say you are a better man than me. I'd probably have broken down at some point and let the reptile run loose.

Don't worry about it, I know you're busy. I'll have an expediter handle the delivery.

As for the other stuff, I have faith in you. When you forget how wonderful you are, I'll be there to remind you.

Love,
Your pain in the ass

I just don't feel it when I look at her or think of her. It is what it is.

And of course packages exist. We're all packages - filled with really good stuff, and some bad stuff, and some junk we really need to throw out, and some packing peanuts too. ;-] I know some people who compartmentalize all the seemingly conflicting aspects of their lives. They too feel there are no packages and that nobody can see through their clever ruse - including themselves.

And speaking of packages: I hope you'll be able to receive yours today.

PS: I'm sorry you're have a rough time with your friend. I know what it's like to watch helplessly as someone you care about hurts themself. I'll be thinking good thoughts for you and your friend.

Dear Jo-Anne,

I didn't say what the core issues are because they are extremely personal and of a sensitive nature to her so I didn't feel I had the right to share those details with the world. I did however, share my feelings about them with Simone and I think our friendship is stronger because of that.

Regarding the other reasons she's wrong for me; well, I just don't love her in that way and never have. I don't get that amazing feeling when I look at her - the way I do when I'm in love with a woman. That feeling that I want to do almost anything within my power (and sometimes without)to make her happy and feel safe and always loved. The feeling that it's not 'work' to compromise with the woman I love.

While I love Simone, I don't feel the desire to share our lives with each other.

You have no idea how much I do believe in working things out and adapting to my partners differences. In fact, it's often the differences that I enjoy adopting because that keeps me from becoming so set in my ways that I lose the ability to enjoy all the curveballs life throws at me. I believe it's really true with all my being, and I live my life as best I can practicing it. I also know that you want to believe it but just can't remember how to.

Jo-Anne, you have no idea what I would do, or give up for the woman I love - and never consider it a hardship.
