A nut job as in won't let go when/if things end?

See I could not be with someone until I felt safe enough to be alone with them...because once you are naked and underneath, you are trapped. That's a very vulnerable position to be in. I would love to say I'm a trusting person but I'm not.

Naive yes...absolutely, but not trusting. I know that sounds like a conflict but it's like I really want to believe what they tell me, and I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, but I am CONSTANTLY questioning if they are being authentic.

That's why smart cowboys always keep their boots under the bed and their six-gun within easy reach.

POTUS (not just the current one) has an entire staff to run their personal life and I'm sure they have their own demons. Does this make them all nut-jobs?

You know what I realized this morning...my husband makes me fat. LOL

Okay, he doesn't MAKE me fat and he doesn't force feed me, however we've been apart for about 10 days now and I've lost 4lbs. I eat completely different when he's not here.

I hate dinner...I do...we don't eat til around 7pm. Dinner is "family time" so we all sit around the dining room table (well, those of us that are home) and he likes his meat and potatoes..etc. He expects a full meal.

So, I sit there with all of them....I'm not starving and I could really do without but I start picking at stuff I don't even want to eat.

When he's not here I have coffee in the morning, breakfast around 10am, "dinner" around 4:00 and then wine in the evening (I know, bad habits!).

I think I'm going to have to boycott dinner though. I'll still cook but I can't sit there anymore! I have no willpower to do that!

It is possible to fall out of love by taking antidepressants of SSRI (Specific Serotonin Reptake Inhibitor) family that increase the serotonin neuro transmitter level in brain synaptic space. It is proven that many people lose the ability to love by getting such medication to the point that this becomes an unwanted side effect of such antidepressants that threatens the relationship of couples that were in love but suffered from some kind of depression or anxiety.

Gee, whattaya know? Someone ELSE believes that antidepressants cause relationship problems ... huh...

You're an evil evil woman and deserve no love.

Don't worry about the small stuff.

Yeah, I know! I complain all the time about our dinner time. He gets very insulted when I say "I'm not hungry, I'm not eating".

I have kind of thought of feeding the kids around 4:30 or so, and then he can just reheat when he gets home, but that probably wouldn't go over very well...I'm sure he'd be insulted at that suggestion.

We're all nut jobs.
