[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 696203, member: 18958"] Well, Albatross. You got to tell him you love him, and hear him tell you true words, that he loves you. (Can I say, I told you so?) (Can I say it again?) This is the true, true thing and where I am too. Are all of us united in this one true spot--the telephone booth of heartbreak. Now, what in the world does this mean? Is it some vagabond fantasy? Like he is hopping freight trains? On the Road Again? Lonesome Cowboy? Is it post-modern Haight Ashbury or Woodstock? Is he searching for himself or running away? Is he leaving someplace on a Jet Plane or going towards his destiny? Why oh why does he have to make it so hard? Does he know? Or is it not so hard for him--just for us. This sounded healthy however much we may be scratching our heads so hard they bleed. Is he having [I]fun[/I]? Is this what this is about? [I]Fun[/I]. Call me confused. So, Albatross--he really left you no role. He is not reaching out to return or change. On the contrary he is defining himself, his place--as different. So maybe that is what it is about. Different from you--husband and you--the anti-yuppy life. If it is that he is individuating, but using geographical and lifestyle differences to do it, instead of psychological and social ones--such as maturity and college, for example. The generation of my grandparents must have done this--leaving Russia or Scotland, for example. Perhaps their parents were equally horrified. If we look at in this context, it is understandable. I just hope we all survive it. [/QUOTE]
