Boyfriend Update

Hmmmmmm. I guess my guilt-laden message must have worked, he called last night at 12:30am (he calls my cell phone, which he knows I turn off at bedtime, so he knows he can call anytime and not disturb my slumber) And the lame excuse was (drumroll please!) - he spent the night at his sister's house last night and the night before and forgot to bring his cell phone. He had to get up early to take his mom, who is currently living with his sister, to the doctor for cancer treatments, so he figured he'd just stay over there to make things easier (they live about 20 minutes apart). His mom has been battling bone cancer for the past 2 years.... so he's adjusted to it by now but having never been through that experience myself, having been blessed with healthy parents who I'm sure will live forever, I can't say how hard it is to go through.

His tone was very casual, so I'm thinking he has no idea how pissed off I really was. We will talk all this out later. Perhaps I really am overreacting. And now the problem will be, how much do I tell him? I struggle with communication issues myself - I have to decide what I have a "right" to be feeling and what I don't, and that dictates what I tell him about my feelings, and what usually ends up happening is I conclude I'm a horrible person and we just go on like nothing happened. Silly, I know.

Stad - thanks for the long email, I will answer it this weekend I SWEAR TO GOD.

HUH, now I'm getting into the Wendy and Aaron soap opera. On to the next date looking for the next installment.

Nooooooo Aaron is really far too straight-laced to ever be involved in a REAL soap opera. He's no Jeremy!

Thank GOD!! One asshole ruining the life of one friend is enough to deal with (Jenny doesn't read old messages, right? LOL)

Yeah, she's not as NEUROTIC as you, to go back and comment on all these ancient things! You have a lot of ground to make up if you want to beat Nam, though. I think you said you weren't aiming that high quite yet.

Oh, I dunno, this may be doable, especially if he never figures out how I'm going about it!!
