That is definitely true....without marriage, there wouldn't be divorce.....lol.

Tomi, disengaging is definitely what I have to do. It is hard however because everytime I talk to him it gets into what I expect out of a partner. It is amazing because I feel like I am saying the same thing over & over & over, but there is always something he doesn't understand.....as obvious by his comments. I can't believe that anyone can be that lame?

The good thing is that I am moving my horses back to the place I was previously boarding them. Long story short....the lady where I am currently boarding is a jerk (I have posted about the situation). That got me thinking about my horses & what I need to know & do before moving them back to KY.

Baby Izzy (now almost 3 Sept 23) is going to be greenbroke & her potential as a dressage horse analyzed. My old man (28) will be back at a place where I feel safe riding him (his partial blindness makes stumbling a problem). That way, I can build up his muscles so that he will be stronger for the trip....the stronger muscles will help the arthritis & make the trip easier (if he really is well enough to make the trip). Otherwise, he is in a place where he previously was used as a lesson horse for beginning riders & will get his meaning of life back. He has been turning his back on me & walking away lately....he is mad at me for ignoring him. They really are sensitive creatures. My mare is just along for the ride....not really used for anything but still family just the same.

This way, I have a daily commitment to ride & be able to work with my horses again since the layout of this ranch has a dressage arena right there & a place to ride on the ranch.....where it is safe.

This will definitely get me away & disengaging from him....& having my wonderful horses back functioning into my life.
