My Favorite (formerly known as Mr. 2004 but always known to me as My Favorite) and I talked things through this weekend. I guess I may have misinterpreted his actions and as any of us know who are less than one year post serious relationship, it takes a while to work through the emotions of a breakup even if you have no desire to go back with that person.
You don't have any desire to go back with her, right?
When we last spoke a month ago, my feelings were hurt, thinking that he didn't want to see me at all but I realize now, that wasn't the case. He just needs some time to work through some of the junk in his head. And I get that.
Obviously, any trip is contingent on Dad's prognosis because I need to keep as much of my vacation time free to be available for him when he needs me.
So I'm glad My Favorite and I put it out there and worked through it. We've always been able to be completely honest with each other and talk about anything without any fear of being judged. That's one of the things I miss most about him.
Oh, and his hotness. You know how I like those pretty boys.
In fact, here's a picture of us from my friend's wedding in 2004 which was the last time I saw him.
On second thought, I didn't think it was fair to post his picture without him knowing so all you get to see is the back of his head in the mirror and me wearing a $200 bridesmaid dress that I resold for $15 on eBay.
I'll keep you posted.
You look beautiful in that pic. I hope things work out for you. You deserve to be happy. Praying for your dad! (((HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteHard to believe that you parted with that dress.
ReplyDeleteThe pic is fantastic. I do hope you make it to Cali. Good to have someone that you can be completely honest with, that sure is rare!!
ReplyDeleteHope you Dad is doing well.
You are looking lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteHiya Chrissy! I've just jogged through a few entries to play catchup (and I'm still in my underpants - not a pretty sight before coffee, or indeed after). I really feel for you on this one. Unresolved feelings have a way of haunting us, and the fact you looked for Mr. F on Facebook probably says a lot about yours. I'm a "moving forward" kinda guy, and feelings for old flames can often say more about where you are now than about where you've been. But I've made terrible mistakes over the years that I regret, and I might even try to turn the clock back on them, if only my pride and fear would only let me. Be braver than me and take the flight! It might not work out, but maybe there's gold in them thar hills! Indigo x
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous in the photo. Hopefully you'll be able to see him during your trip and resolve any issues.
ReplyDeleteSending good thoughts your way for a positive outcome for both your California trip and your dad's prognosis.
ReplyDeleteVery nice photo. It sounds like he is a great guy (I look forward to the photos) and I'm sure once your lives get sorted out, you'll rendezvous in Cali.
ReplyDeleteHe has a handsome left ear.
ReplyDeletePretty pic. I usually take my bridesmaid dresses to Goodwill.
ReplyDeleteChrissy, thanks for the comment, you're a woman after my own heart x
ReplyDeleteYou look FAAAAAABULOUS in the photo, Chrissy!
ReplyDeleteYou GLOW!
So glad to hear you two will be meeting up again. I look forward to hearing more!
*BTW...great-looking back of the head.
woo! woo!
That actually looks like a 150$ dress, even previously worn, and you look great in it.

And that sounded far less patronising in my head ;>
ReplyDeleteWoah. The back of his head is HOT! (Is that okay that I said that??) I like the pretty boys too...there are not enough of them to go around, in my humble opinion.
ReplyDeleteYou look mah-velous....the dress? Is not befitting the beauty that you are, but you make it work!
I hope Fav guy realizes how wonderful you are...that's all I'm saying.
@Collette,
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sweetie. On all accounts. :-)
@Laoch of Chicago,
It wasn't easy. I stared at the pictures for days.
@JW.BW,
A rarity, indeed. Thanks. :-)
@Aditya,
Thank you, kind sir..
@Indigo,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visual. I've never been one to look back but I've come to realize, never say never.
@Peach Tart,
Thanks so much. Let's hope.
@CatLadyLarew,
Thanks. I can feel their warm fuzzies from here!
@Travelgirl,
Thanks. Yes, he's a good guy. We'll figure it out.
@Writers Block,
Doesn't he, though?
@kyslp,
Thanks. Usually? How many have you had??
@Rosie,
Ha ha...yep. :-)
@Ron,
ReplyDeleteYes, I always had that stupid grin on my face around him. Wait'll you see the front!
@Secretia,
No, I bought it new. I WISH I had bought it used.
@Indigo,
No worries, my friend.
@Kathryn,
Yes, the dress wasn't exactly my shining moment. I asked her to pick the red one but she opted for LILAC. Blah.
Thanks, sweetie. xo
Hooray potential love success story!
ReplyDeleteCalifornia is great. Avocados. Sunshine. In N' Out. We've got it all.
@Reality Asylum,
ReplyDeleteHooray! :-)
Can't wait to see it. Oh and him, too.
@Knucklehead,
Thanks!
You look really great! Oh yeah, and he's got the sexiest neck I've ever seen. You go girl!
ReplyDeleteIf you every make it out to So Cal let me know :) I would love to hang out with you!
