After finding out that our marriage could not save Juan's citizenship, Juan and I kind of broke down and became suspicious paranoids.As a result, he decided he should move out. He is going to move out Nov 1 and wishes us to remain friends. He told me tonight he has not has romantic feelings for me for some time, but just great affection. I cried myself to sleep within his arms that were soothing me and just woke up, his naked body wrapped around me.
It may be the best thing in the world for me but I feel...well you get the idea what I feel.
*sigh*

What goes up must come down
Spinnin' wheel got to go 'round
Talkin' 'bout your troubles it's a cryin' sin
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel spin
You got no money and you got no home
Spinnin' wheel all alone
Talkin' 'bout your troubles and you never learn
Ride a painted pony let the spinnin' wheel turn
Did you find the directing sign on the
Straight and narrow highway
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colors that are real
Someone is waiting just for you
Spinnin' wheel, spinnin' true
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
Catch a painted pony on the spinning wheel ride

Re: Juan
Tue, October 16, 2007 - 12:48 AMDani,,My BF is blind in one eye, and driving at night is a challenge for him , hence why he called to let me know he arrived okay. I asked him to call.
And then don't worry, everything is fine,,, is we are getting together after a month of not seeing each other after an ugly fight,and ugly words exchanged,,and all due apologies have been exchanged,,conversations a couple of dinner dates,,and now back to things normal,,I am hoping,, It looks promising from my POV. -

Re: Juan
Tue, October 16, 2007 - 1:01 AMOh I understood your situation...just it's happening over here too.
I did a series of bad things though...and refused to see me as the perpetrator. Men tend to act like nothing can hurt them...and they don't tell us when we have. And then they collect it...which makes us try harder to get a rise. Which makes them collect more and then we don't understand when they pack their stuff, cause they never gave us a chance to know or change our behavior.
And by that time we are like, then pack your things mo fo! And then they do and we cry. And then they are all confused cause we were so mean.
damn relationships.
Just pretend it's a book, Ther, it's a damn good drama anyway.
Juan said the cutest thing today, he said he was like a crumpled paper where, try as I might, I can't smooth him out to feel perfect again. I couldn't hear him for all my own creases and above the flames in the wastebasket I was in. But what ev, I apologized. -

Re: Juan
Tue, October 16, 2007 - 9:16 AMCommunication is so key, and so hard. I am still adjusting to the whole "processing" routine that at first came across to me as so much psychobabble. I'm just starting to get the hang of it, and Mary and I have been together going on 12 years now. And it's not just words -- it's body language and tone of voice that pushes different buttons for different people.
But communicating all that is worth the effort. If we're lucky, we'll still be working on it 10, 20, 30 etc. years from now.
I hope that whatever happens between you and Juan is for the best for both of you.
Hugs. -

I love that line.
Ya should've listened to me and married the guy last year! But I think you need to move on, too, whatever he's doing.

Re: Juan
Thu, October 18, 2007 - 1:23 AMElissa,,,By the way I LOVE your name. AND ,yes communication is all important,,sometimes the communication gets distorted due to language differences, hispanic men have a dfferent way of expressing than American women do,, I have a Puerto Rican BF,,and at times we have some stilted conversations,,and explaining it, or decifering the conversation can become a diversion,, but a lesson learned on both parts,, a difficult task at times,,by the way , I am starting to try and learn Spanish as a second language at the tender age of 54! He Hee,,,!!! -
