Along with this venture he has watched all of the seasons of Breaking Bad, Madmen, and the Walking Dead. He told me that during a recent TV binge he ate an entire family size bag of chips. He added: "What the hell is my life about? I ate a bag of chips that were meant for a whole family. What am I doing?"
French has been keeping a few girls on the go. He too often lives by advice that his single guy friends give him: "Don't shut any doors." French has several girls that don't know where they stand with him. This situation is starting to lose its charm, and he is getting stressed out.
I countered with advice that he gave me back in high school when I couldn't pick, or commit to one girl. French told me to play a song on the guitar, and imagine what girl I'd most like to hear me performing that song.
I handed him my guitar. French strummed a few chords then played and sang All I Want is You by U2. He played it like Edge, and sang it like Bono. French played the final part of the song with his eyes closed. French handed me back my guitar and said: "I gotta go to Montreal."

So many things to love about this (and your every) post. My husband is the only man I've ever loved enough to have no one on the back burner. That's not to say I'd always cheated in a physical way, but there had at least been some quiet and inappropriate emotional connection w/ someone other than my main man...until my husband. I am not proud of this but say it b/c--in my experience--the real thing will chase out any and every other thing. I hope he finds what he's looking for in Montreal. Life is short and so much sweeter when shared.
i love you guys))))
but in the platonic way:) (don't want to confuse french)

I hope he finds the love he yearns for in Montreal. Cool way to discern who it is you love. I knew it was my husband when he came to visit me and I was sick with the measles. I knew.
so beautiful!!!! So often it is in the listening that awakening really happens. I hope you will join me and many others in creating a gratitude quilt this year. Information about the project and how to participate can be found at the top of my blog.
