Go easy on me. I've never begun a thread before and this one will be total self-indulgence. It's my birthday and I need some attention. Note I didn't say want, I said need.
Yesterday, I was told He needed a *pause* in our relationship.
He really does need it. It's nothing to do with me, other things in his life are just consuming all his time and there is nothing left over. It's unfair (he says) to me to be kept in the wings without stating the real situation up front. And he is right. There is structure and stability in knowing what is really going on, knowing the truth and accepting it.
But understanding that it is not about me and not about the relationship, still doesn't make it any easier. Well, it does in a way, it's not about me, so that is good. But ....
The timing sucks.
And it may be self-indulgent, even selfish, but I need some attention. So I've begun my own birthday thread. I've been good, I deserve a few pats on the back and 'hey' have a good day's'.
I'll even entertain you all if you like. I can sing and dance and I am quite articulate on almost any topic. I can give something back for this attention I'm begging for.
I'm not being an attention whore, those of you who know me, know that.... I'm quiet, and unless I have something to say, I'm pretty much a non-drama-queen.
So in an effort to be fair to you who might drop by ... my rendition of
"Every Little Breath I take"... (an old Gene Pitney song.. you'll like it, I promise)
*begins to sing....*
