After picking up Mike (different one) & Karen from the airport and spending some time with them -- they invited me to lunch but I really needed some quiet time to reflect on events -- I headed home around 3. I wound up exchanging SMS'es and phone calls with Shadow, Courtney, and Sue. Had some good discussion time and feedback. I went to visit Sue

Honey, i am so glad we all could get together-- i too felt that "lightening" of the day as we sat and laughed and talked...

i am often surprised at how MUCH you are willing to put out for others (even as i sometimes prod you for emotional stuff)... Mike? At this point i would have said "hey-- never mind, see ya around" and not gone beyond that--- he can come/go where he wants and so can you- but just leaving it seems to be my style.

He got a 'ribbing?" and never really apologized-- i see it as that he doesn't take this seriously- and probably never will.
i don't see maturity here, and conversation with immature people usually leads to being blown off and having things glossed over and (eventually) *me* being labeled a prude and a stubborn bitch who doesn't have any fun.....

i hope you continue to feel GREAT about yourself-- you are one hell of a nice guy.

Thanks, my dear. *HUG* I appreciate that. I got a further IM response today where he raised some concern about privacy and feeling he could talk openly. I appreciate that, but in such matters, especially where I am not necessarily feeling confident in my own analysis of a situation, I have increasingly felt the need to keep /myself/ honest by posting the stuff going on for me, sometimes including quotes, etc from others involved to get more scrutiny.

I think, in this situation, I am coming into your mode of thinking and have decided I just need some distance from this. Maybe there will come a time when there can be further reflection with him on this, but I don't think that time is now. So I've decided to set him aside and move along. There wasn't really a huge amount invested, as you've also pointed out, but I don't really like walking away feeling as though I've left something unfinished either.
