Josh and I are going to couples' counselling in preparation (or not, as it may turn out) of moving to Colorado.

Colorado. Josh's half-sister——Jess, who he'd never met until two weeks ago——lives there.

She just broke her engagement three months before the wedding. Everything's been paid for. She needs support, and Josh wants to be there for her in ways he couldn't before.

It's all such a long story. I just thought I'd mention it. You remember how shit happens in my life and then I'm like, no, it cannot POSSIBLY get any weirder than this?

It does. It always does.

(mostly I'm writing because I know it'll bite me in the ass if I don't, not because I want to examine it. This is a new thing for me, or at least the recognition of it is.)

I think you are the first person I have ever encountered who seems to be going to couples counseling in ANTICIPATION of stressors, before any issues develop just in case they might -- which is such a super great, healthy thing to see.

well, the first couples' therapist was a bust. we're looking for someone else, but not very hard.

EMOTIONS: OVERWHELM

No fucking kidding! Wow. Even from the capsule summary, that's a lot to sort through!

Yeah and right now it looks like I'm not moving and he is.

Well, shit. I don't know even what to say, except to take my sympathy from last week and apply some kind of exponent to it.
