Last night, combined with monthly hormones, I wanted to have a good cry over Koogie, but I couldn't bring myself to because Hubby was there. For some reason, I don't want to let myself become too emotional around him, because he'll want to be all comforting and clingy, and the idea of it drives me nuts. I just want to pull myself into a cave with my stuff and blubber in peace to myself. IE, I want him to go away for a while.
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

{{connie}} It's not ideal, but how about in the shower? No one knows you're crying with the water running.
We have cave crickets in the basement, too, but since all we do there is store stuff and do laundry, they don't worry me too much.
Ours has a rec-room and an office/bedroom, in addition to the 2nd bath and laundry room, so we'll be down there. And by that I mean I'm a big coward about bugs and don't want to share the space, nor would I feel comfortable sending houseguests down there to sleep.

Or go to a cemetary. People expect you to cry there.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Connie, can you just say "honey, I just gotta let the waterworks go. Can you give me some space? I know you want to comfort me, and I love that about you. But I just need to be by myself."
Dunno. That might be worse. Not sure.
ION... Sssssshhhhh. Tonight I'm shooting pool with Cute Graphics Girl. We'll see if anything comes of it. Wish me luck(& anti-shyness).

Aimee- Em is awesome! What happened with your estimator? Was there any indication he was unhappy?
JZ- Yay for good interviews! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Nora- I forgot what I was going to say to you.
connie- I'm so sorry for your loss, and I agree with Sparky. The shower is my favorite place to cry.

Good luck, omnis.
I don't suppose you could send your DH on some sort of errand to get yourself some private time, connie?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
JZ!!! WHOO!! You go, girl!!!!
connie, I'm sorry. Can you tell hubby that you need some alone time? Or would that kick off the clinging instinct?

Hubby is very much like a loving, clumsy puppy who breaks the lamp and destroys furniture while trying to show how much he cares. And when I tell him to "sit", he does so but with big sad puppy eyes.
Possibly not a description I'll share with a fifty-year-old man with a sense of pride.
The shower sounds like a good idea.
