reinvent, I have a question.

Are you viewing this situation as a reason (justification) to bolt?

Your reaction now (calm, cool, collected) seems odd, almost as if you're numb or something.

Please talk to him.

Regardless whether or not anything inappropriate is going on between them (which frankly, from what you've posted about him, I very much doubt), I will say the same thing to you that others said to me about my situation -- your bf needs better boundaries.

If you felt (feel) uncomfortable about it (which would be totally understandable!), why not tell him? My goodness, you (his girlfriend) just witnessed another woman jumping into his arms, ANY woman would be uncomfortable with that!

Personally, I would be more than uncomfortable, especially since he remained out there with her afterwards, knowing that you were waiting for him inside.

Communicate. I did with my bf and it brought us closer together.

He totally understood my POV (and why I was upset), and after explaining the situation further, I understood his.

 

I walk thru the gate first, followed by SL's son and she practically pushed past the two of us and jumps in SL's arms so happy to see him?

She had been away for work for 2 weeks. I am not insecure by nature, but at the same time I do have a pretty good sense of boundaries and appropriateness.

 

I can't think of any of my friends I might jump into the arms of having been away for 2 weeks, let alone my somewhat older, male neighbor.

 

T (the son) and I went in the house and left the two of them catch up. It seemed she the was one that kept SL outside for longer than expected.

I felt somewhat uncomfortable and trying to take my pulse whether I was just being insecure or if this was appropriate it or not.

 

She literally jumped into your boyfriend's arms?

I am trying to imagine this, do you remember my thread about when I arrived at my boyfriend's apt and his female neighbor was in his kitchen, and upon seeing me said "oh this is awkward" with a sheepish look on her face? And how upset I got, I walked out, and he came after me?

If I recall your response correctly, you said my response was appropriate and that you would have done the same thing.

Just my opinion, but this seems ten times worse than that, and NO this was not appropriate.

How did your bf respond after she jumped into his arms? Talk about awkward.

And he actually stayed out there with her for a time and engaged with her? While you, his girlfriend, was inside waiting for him?

I think I must be misinterpreting what happened reinvent, because this sounds quite unbelievable to me.

I haven't seen yet, but looking forward to "I, Tonya" about the fallen ice skating queen, Tonya Harding, starring Margot Robbie.

And Margot Robbie? What an absolute stunner!!

No and I never saw the movie either, and I see everything! Old, new and everything in between, not sure how I missed it.

I'll have to check it out.

Reminds me, have you seen Match Point?

A Woody Allen gem, not a comedy, a psyche thriller.

Awesome soundtrack! Opera. You will love it even if not that into opera.

I will upload tomorrow.

That's a good one!

 

I also like "I Ran."

Yeah, I've been really getting into 80's music lately, another favorite is New Order.

"True Faith"

Yeah, synth-pop. Love it too.

 

Can't link now, but later will upload A Flock of Seagulls (was listening to earlier), another great new wave synth-pop group.

A Flock of Seagulls -- Space Age Love Song

One of my favs!

I love this kind of 80s music.

 

Kyrie Eleison

Mister Mister

 

Yeah, synth-pop. Love it too.

Can't link now, but later will upload A Flock of Seagulls (was listening to earlier), another great new wave synth-pop group.

Reminds me of a recent thread:

 

[video=youtube;P5mtclwloEQ] ]

 

lol, what thread is that, gotta check that out!

Dylan -- Positively 4th Street.

Just Breathe -- Anna Nalick

Been listening to this all day. This song is so me, I could have written it myself.

Beautiful.

Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls

Was listening to Pet Shop Boys all day yesterday (pretty much).

Chasing Cars -- Snow Patrol

Haven't heard in awhile, but love this song.

Trainspotting.

A British man I used to chat with recommended it to me months back, he loved it (his favorite film actually).

I did too; elicited all sorts of emotions in me, I love movies like that!

T2 Trainspotting (20 years after the original) is now on Starz (On Demand here in the states) so will be watching that soon too.

Just read yet ANOTHER post from someone telling a poster to "call" and NOT "text." When that other person isn't texting back.

Like if someone isn't texting back, suddenly calling them is going to propel them to want to talk to you? Um, no don't think so.

News flash: if I am not available or interested enough to return a text, I am sure as HELL not gong to become available or interested because they called!

What are people thinking when they advise this?

What difference does it make, text, call, message in a bottle, carrier pigeon, as long as two people are "communicating" that is all that matters.

How they choose to do that is of zero relevance imho!

Rant over.

Chevelle -- Closure

Closure has come to me,

Myself,

You will never belong,

To me.

Phil Collins

I Wish it Would Rain Down

 

Yeah love Phil Collins. This song, think I downloaded it awhile ago too, one of my favorites.

I had a dad who talked with me

Who gave me the right to disagree

To question, and always answered me

As well as he could, and truthfully

He talked of adventures

The horrors of war

Of life, it's meaning, what love was for

How each would always need to strive

To improve the world, to keep it alive

Stressed the duty we owe each other

To be aware each man is a brother

Words for laughter he also spoke

A silly song, a happy joke

Time runs along

Some say I'm wise

That I look at life with seeing eyes

My heart is happy

My mind is free

I had a father who talked with me.

RIP dad, love you! xoxo

That is a great movie.

 

Also describes Detroit, the last movie I saw.

I am supposed to see Detroit this weekend.

I'm wanting to see Kidnap with Halle Berry also.

I told people at work about Grizzly Man like a month ago. Man tries to befriend wild bears, ends poorly. Very interesting movie, though.

I'll say, the guy and his gf got ripped to shreds by the bear (although thankfully that wasn't shown).

Watched it years ago when it was first released. Chilling.

One of the attorneys here listened to the tape recording of the guy before and during the attack; don't think I would want to listen to that.

Good movie though.

The founder

 

Michael Keaton played a really good Ray Kroc. I was so upset at what he did with the McDonald Brothers.

 

5/5

I'm gonna have to see that.

Love Michael Keaton!

If I were to ever crush on a celeb, it would be him.

Whiplash.

 

And JK Simmons is from Ohio!

Yeah! I posted that myself awhile back.

The drum solo at the end was intense!

One of the best drum solos I ever listened to.

Yeah, The Big Short was excellent! Was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, in 2016.

Wasn't the last movie I watched but was so memorable, thought it warranted mentioning.

The movie "Duel," one of Steven Spielberg's early movies (1971).

Watched it at a meet-up last weekend.

Had never seen it and wow, what a nail biter!

Was at a concert last weekend -- A tribute to Creedence Clearwater Revival.

"I Put A Spell On You"

No one, and I mean NO ONE, can growl on key better than John Fogerty! lol
