Thanks.

Thanks to everyone for the phone calls, emails, cyberhugs, and especially the thoughts/words of advice.

Things are better.... we talked A LOT Friday. Although really we talked often last week, just not about exactly what happened until Friday morning when he came over. And yes, he was (is) remorseful, apologetic, etc. I think men need a sledgehammer to the head sometimes, especially when it comes to sensitivity issues - but I think people in general mistreat the people who care the most about them. (Doesn't that suck.)

It was the first time he'd said anything so hurtful, and I think he pretty clearly got the point that it is not ok to treat me that way. And really it didn't feel right to ask him to leave; I just didn't know what else to do. I couldn't even let him kiss me (let alone get intimate).

So back to Friday. Basically we hashed it out, got to the bottom of the what/why of that conversation - talked about how to move on from that and what we need to do from here.

And yes, it's more than worthwhile to work things out - we both knew that all along I think. So here we are, together... but with new understanding.
