Wow, I must be getting better…..
Question:
Rob, I’m quite sure that any of us here would respond appropriately to any clear, cut and dried threat. We may not do so well with the "what ifs", because we overthink the possibilities and create too many scenarios in our imaginations. Taking a decisive action simply removes a lot of the "what ifs". Good on you for NOT caving to "stuffing your feelings". Keep moving ! Sue Western Maine

I just found out she was with someone else and not around so much. Now, for what reason I have had no panic attacks, stress, or depressive instance. Not like I’m glad it’s over or anything. That always sucks but I felt empowered by holding my ground and looking at this in a "reality" view/perspective. It really helped, no joke. Thanks for all that advice on other issues. It sure helped here. I guess you can all take comfort on the advice you have given me- It’s working! No changes in meds. No doc’s no chat. Nadda. Reality 101 only. Thanks again!

Rob, The truth is more powerful (and empowering) than what we can make up and react to neurotically in our minds. You don’t need a gf who is not faithful anyway, nobody needs that. You dust yourself off, and try again when you are ready and the right woman appears. Good for you. Sally — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm

Dear Rob, While I’m sorry this relationship didn’t work out…….I believe it’s healthier to be in no relationship than one that is dysfunctional. Wishing you peace and healing.

Thanks for the support. I don’t think it’s being in a relationship that’s the problem. It’s the person I’m in it with. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a self-admitted work-a-holic when it suits me. I am set in my ways but in the past I would get all spun up and do the "what if" thing over, and over, and over. No more. I don’t know what is changed or if I’m just growing up but settling for less is just not for me. A crappy mix with depression and anxiety one must admit. I take a lot of the blame but as whacked as it sounds, like I said. I feel solid about this. Something I can’t say I have felt in years. Living in flux sucks. Too bad it took me so long to "grow a set"
Maybe that relationship wasn’t right. I hope things go better for you from now on Rob.

Wow! That WONDERFUL, Rob! Usually in a situation like that I ruminate over it a long time afterwards! I’m going through that right now over my last job. You did great, and I’m glad you stood your ground. Dennis — The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm

Glad to hear this, Rob. Whenever there’s no anxiety, etc., it’s a good thing. Hugs, Di
