T called you because he knows, sooner or later, you'll find out that X was involved with Thanksgiving and wanted to give you a heads up. That's a good thing....kinda. It sounds a little insecure, although that may be how he does things. Maybe he's just sounding you out. Fishing, for lack of a better term. I actually called him on my lunch to see if he was bar hopping with me or just meeting me at my house later

He's mad, which leads to why. Mad because he feels threatened? Mad because he know it might jeopardize your relationship? Mad, because he feels trapped? Mad because sister is a pain in the butt and overstepped her bounds again? Mad because he has feelings for X? I know he said he's mad at sister, but getting mad for something like that is useless if she's as psycho as she is portrayed. I'd be more worried than mad. he does not have feelings for X, because he has tried over and over to tell her it's done, but she will not accept it and he is not an a$$, so he won't be a complete jacka$$ to her......otherwise....i agree with all the rest!!!!!

Lynne, who really likes the "fringe benefits" and companionship, is feeling a little threatened, since every step has been frought with the wreckage of fallout. It's like working your way barefooted through a parking lot full of broken glass. Lynn is also a little confused, since T's baggage has been opened again. Nobody want's to look and see if it's empty. Just so you know....T is not depressed...came to this board because of the X (J)....and just stayed around for company and my friends.........YES< i like my comfortable relationahip......and YES< this baggage of the T's X is a tad bit irritating!!!!!!

So, you have the potential of a train wreck. Plenty of switches and ways to go, but which way is the train going? Now what to do?

Here's what I'd do: I'd drop by after work and sound the waters. Personal contact is much better for reading between the body language. If I had a problem with X, since she sounds a little dangerous, I'd tell T to watch his six and have a good holiday. Then, I'd go home and have a good holiday. The rest is a waiting game. i think i will drop by after work.....feel him out image well, ok....i will check out the situation....and call it a night out with the girls!!!!!!!
