I meant the highlighting, the way you find the nub of the sentence. ?

You’re the one that wrote it, sweetfeet!

“Namaste right back at you coupled with blessings and light and hope the world wakes up soon from this crazy matrix we are suffering.” – I had no idea what you were talking about. It was gibberish.

“Fine. I’ll let you choose the starting topic.” – Right from the start I let you have your own way.

“A split of 40/60 my way which I thought was outrageous” – I can’t remember what I initially suggested. Maybe 50/50. Whatever, I fully expected you to complain and negotiate and I was quite willing to do so. You’re a terrible negotiator!

“I was frequently checking for your emails, though not hourly, as I do now.” – !! Speechless.

“Sunday mid-Feb, I don’t think I have a date, do you?” – Yes. Arrived Friday, 15th Feb, so Sunday was the 17th.

“You played dribble music at time, often with a smoky romantic feel, which made me uncomfortable.” – What does ‘dribble music’ mean!? Never mind that question; why did it make you feel uncomfortable and why didn’t you say anything?

“I struggled with you hanging out my ‘smalls!’ ” – Not surprised at all. I wondered if you would mind. I expected Sasha would. I was aware that I might be trespassing on sensibilities, even though it’s just a hangup people have about these things. Stuff gets washed. Stuff gets hung up to dry. End of story. Nonetheless, I expected you to say something. When you didn’t, I figured it was okay, so kept doing it.

“Then it was time for you to leave and I thought my heart might break.” – I had no idea it affected you so. You covered that up pretty well. I had 3 days to say goodbye to the familiar. It was a sad time for me, too.

“We went to the fringe one weekend. Were we a bit nervous? Maybe just unfamiliar.” – That almost felt like a date. It is an occasion I would normally hold hands and I wasn’t quite sure how to behave. I was uncertain.

“One weekend my tree dropped another branch. You and Milly were pillars for me. When was that? When you still lived with me?” – Yes.

“When the roof man came, you told him you were my husband.” – I never did that. I chose my words carefully. He assumed I was, I allowed him to keep thinking I was. It was so you would not be taken advantage of, not to make myself a de-facto husband. I was a little offended at the time that you took umbrage, as I was only doing it in your best interests. I never gave your shadow traits a thought.

“you looked very deliciously attractive – sorry for any hint of objectification” – I’m not sure that many men would object to such objectification from any lovely lady. I can’t imagine any would object to it coming from the woman they love. You just go ahead and objectify me any time you like!

“From my view you were really enjoying your connection with Shirley.” – I was, but by that time, I was just enjoying being relaxed in her company without some background agenda in my mind.

“I had the impression that you were discombobulated by what I said. You didn’t agree with my take.” – I was. I had never considered that Shirley might be thinking about things in that way and there were no signals I picked up on that she was. It wasn’t so much that I didn’t agree with your take; I didn’t want it to be correct. I was concerned that I might be giving the wrong signals. It took me some days to work through this. You rocked me with your take.

“you had told me years earlier that another relationship was not of interest to you.” – I did. But I also told you things changed at P2A. You might have considered that that statement belonged in the past.

“As far as I was concerned you did not think of me at all in a sexual way.” – So I was successful in hiding my feelings and keeping you relaxed. I was concerned that if you knew how I felt, you might pull away. Everything would change.
