Skep...
I would never say not to have any person as your friend that you choose. It was the particular (solitary) activity that made me identify with your husbands insecurity.
Aren't you in school? There must be some more people to play with.
I guess you cleared the air some about how it's his clinging that creates the danger of you wanting to break away?
Debbie and Skep...
Your dreams remind me of my reality. Once I caught a box of feather boas on fire and was screaming for Dino and he wouldn't budge from his heap. I managed to beat the fire out with the butt of the fire extinguisher, which wouldn't work. All the time I was screaming for help, all I heard was a disgruntled "what?" from his direction.
Another time I slipped and fell into a wall of boxes full of fabric. There was an avalanche and I was underneath. I had twisted my back and couldn't get out. But he couldn't seem to "hear" me yelling for help. My cat sat with me until he meandered by half an hour later.
Whattaguy.
