anitaParticipantHey Dear Confused π
She got emotionally very attached to you- even though she has difficulty trusting people- because (I figure), she can tell that you are the bee’s knees when it comes to a man being honest with her and caring for her and about her.
Her trust doesn’t mean that it is possible for you to be perfect. No human can be perfect and never hurt another person unintentionally- not even a bee’s-knees-human aka Confused!
Another thing that nor human nor bee can do is feel good π₯³ all of the time. Or even close to all of the time.

anitaParticipantHey Dear Robi π
I am sure that you upgraded Alicante by being- working there (I really think so, I am not saying this just to make you feel good)!
I think it’s a grat idea to open up to her in a message tonight: it’ll give her time to respond from a calmer mindset.

anitaParticipantDear Robi:
“I might just tell her I feel attracted to her and see whatβs what. I feel I have no more space for playing things cool or anything like that. Some simple honesty feels alright these days.”-
I like this very much! Some Simple Honesty (SSH) may huSSH.. the pissed-off Robi. SSH with everyone, particularly with yourself β¨π€β¨
CafΓ© del Mar- WOW! If I ever get to Spain, I am going there! I remember that you told me you worked in a cafe in Spain and I think it was on the beach.. was it this place?

anitaParticipantGood Sunday morning, Confused π
WOW! What a delight to read this update!
She seems very much emotionally- attached to you, and getting even more attached.
You did an excellent job communicating with her and soothing her anxiety. You are indeed the bee’s knees, Confused!
“Yes, yesterday during the videocall (which was again 8 hours almost and we had fun) … still expect my ‘feelings’ to be around all the time and me wanting to spend every moment with her… The thing now is why did I lose the ‘rush’ to videocall tonight with her again? It’s so annoying that it lasts only for a brief period of time..”-
I am confused π, you mean that “8 hours almost” of fun = “a brief period of time”?

anitaParticipantUnloved, Invisible, Alone; chronically ashamed, guilty, self- doubting, tormented inside, distressed:
Ohhh.. wow, what a life!
Like living in a pressure cooker of mental- emotional distress.
And what a relief to be healing these days faster than ever, finally breaking through walls.
Totally worth it even though I am no longer young, even though it took so long.

anitaParticipantDear blocked-off and excited, pissed- off π€¬, tired π and confused π€ Robi πΏ
I think that what you need more than anything is C&S (Clarity and Simplicity).
If the relationship with the current has not been working- repeatedly & for a long time (“fighting a lot… so tough”)- wouldn’t it make sense to take a real break from each other, for at least month, maybe longer?
And within this break you can explore a possibility with this new girl?

anitaParticipantHey π Confused:
“I will worry about that if and when it happens” – this is a healthy Confused π
“We agreed to be very open because no one wants to hurt the other person”- this is a healthy relationship π₯³
Her not telling you right away when something you said or did (or didn’t) hurt her- that’s very common. But if she’s willing, she can practice a new behavior: telling you within an agreed upon time..?
45 out of 90 minutes in the Gym is exactly 50% less than normal (I was worried I’d have to use a calculator, but you made it easy for me π)- which is (π§ calculating…..) 100% more than no time at all in the Gym ( did I get it right)?
Trying to practice a mindset of Positive Attitude & Gratitude (PAG).

anitaParticipantGood Saturday night (there), Enticing Robi π
I like the idea of spending time with friends at the Cafe. I wish there was such a place for me here!
As I read about the woman who works there, I had a few thoughts: (1) How lovely (perhaps) it’ll be if you had a girlfriend living so close to you vs long- distance. (2) Maybe her relationship with her mother is different from the current girlfriend’s, such that is not trigerring for you, and maybe overall, she’d be more compatible with you.
(3) Maybe she’d be less compatible.
(4) If you leave your current, I imagine she’d be very hurt π (5) I wonder if it’d be appropriate to sort of “interview” her so to check possible compatibility.
Well, # 5 ocurred to me right after I typed out # 1-4.
Another thought: Why is life so complicated?
I am fine, although it’s getting to be too warm here for me, and biting insects is a problem.
What thinks Robi about 1-5, or 1-6?

anitaParticipantHey π Confused:
I’m all for you feeling calmer, so I hope you keep taking the escitalopram π
Oh, you mean what if the escitalopram stops working- a question to ask the psychiatrist. From my experience, the dosage might be increased and/ or a new drug added.
But it’s working right now. Confused tends to imagine the worst possibilities. I relate. I am trying these very days to change my Negative Attitude to===> Positive Attitude and Gratitude.
The negative is that you argued but the positives are that the day started great βοΈβοΈβοΈ and the argument resolved (she understood that you are not hiding her from people in your life because you’re ashamed of her or have no intentions to make a life with her… right?)
45 minutes in the Gym sounds long enough to me π€

anitaParticipantGood Friday morning (here), evening (there), Robi π
The smell of vodka alone is enough to trigger a coma warning in my π§ . To taste it (and I did) is torture, so if I end up in a coma, it’ll have to be lots and lots of sweet π·π·π·π·π·π·π·π·
I am glad you survived the event! (I’ll drink to celebrate it later π·..)
You asked how I am today- well, silly, aa you can see above π
You named him, yes, makes sense..
Never tried ecstacy, but sounds interesting: better than alcohol and without the calories?
No worries, Robi, you can’t talk this π΅ into hard drugs π€
” Now I just want some peace”- I like that!
Congrats for fine-tuning the alcohol intake, finding the middle way (a Buddhist principle). The middle way between total abstinence and drunkness. Coming to think about it, doestraditional Buddhism advocates for the middle- way when it comes to alcohol?
Alcohol definitely facilitates connectedness with other people and within, when not overly consumed, of course. Then it just makes you sick.
Your Cafe Bistro idea sounds enticing! I just had an auditory visual of a Robi-designed attractive place for community building with music and a fancy antique Merceded Benz parked in the front ππΆππΆπ

anitaParticipantDear Thomas:
Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful message and for your kind words πππ.
My experience with my mother was not one of hidden love. It was one of absence, and thatβs the truth Iβm working with. What Iβm exploring is how that lack of love shaped me.
I appreciate your kindness and the care behind your message π
Anita
