As it turns out, her decision not to talk to the guy has stuck. He keeps texting her every so often, but she keeps politely excusing herself from seeing him. That's what she's told me. And she hasn't gone out to see him so that's kind of the end of vignette. In another turn of events, a guy...

All of that withstanding, we had a great weekend...did some projects together...cuddled up and watched movies all night and really connected. Now if I could just get rid of all the fleas in my bedroom *sigh*

So then.... Audrey and her sister, Vera, have been going out for sister dates at this local place because they have liberal policy about serving her drinks. She's still just 20, but as they have a bar/restaurant and the two of them are attractive young females paying for booze...she gets...

Haven't been around these parts in awhile. Mostly I came when I was feeling badly for support...and then to lend some support myself...but I havent been around much. As I've put a lot of time and effort into this recounting of my love life, I thought I'd update it for thousands of people who...

Checking in to say all is going smoothly. I'm really excited because Audrey and I have been planning a trip to Savannah at the end of July for our first anniversary. She's actually the one who brought it up, which was surprising because ever since our relationship started...she never wanted to...

Had a great night and a fun morning with Audrey. Then a detour. Nothing big, just a tiny surprise. Last night we stayed up watching scary movies, scary documentaries and then some DD/lg time with some baby movies. Fun stuff. We had spent all evening going to get supplies to make costumes, some...

Update the day after. So the moment I came home...with no prodding or passive aggressive pouting (not that I do that)...she was waiting at the door and jumped into my arms. :) She apologized for last night and we talked things through on a deeper level. She's very capable of understanding...

LOL. I think you're right. The odd thing is, in my marriage, I was the one not cleaning as much. Truth be told I'm still pretty lax, but she makes me look like Adrian Monk (i.e. OCD). You're absolutely right. I need to communicate better and not bottle things up. Even if it means she spends...

Kind of in a daze this morning. Thought I'd type it out. Let me preface by saying I realize that I'm dating a 20 year old. Barely not a teenager. That, of course, has its perks. Let me also go on to say that Audrey is much more mature than some people twice her age. All those caveats in place...

Gala and Mags have it on lock. Listen to them. Nothing to add, except love and support!

Just a note to say the principle of "the one who invests/cares the least has the power in the relationship" is unfortunately true. They are losing out on the rewards that come with being in love though :)

So what I'm hearing you say is that: 1. You started out with a DADT policy. 2. At that stage it worked for you because you were on an initial level of intimacy. 3. Your relationship has now grown to a much deeper level of intimacy. 4. At this level of intimacy, you feel a need for more...

Thanks, y'all. You're absolutely right. I'm choosing to spend time in the environment so I should know that certain results are going to come from it. You've reminded me of the perspective I need to have. And it has paid off recently. So the other night every one in my house is hanging out...

CONTINUED.... Was the whole thing that big a deal? Absolutely not. But when you add it to the list of times where I get no credit or respect in a situation where if someone else did the same exact thing they'd get fawned over it gets annoying. Do I need to be fawned over? No. Do I like credit...

Wow. I was posting pretty regularly there for awhile, but haven't posted in weeks. Well here goes. Audrey and I are better than ever as a couple. We've attended some parties and family get togethers and are becoming a more cohesive unit. Our capacity for listening to each other and...

Absolutely. And if you're afraid that you're going to come off naggy or clingy...don't. What LR said is very true. If you don't speak up for yourself, no one will!

I don't think you're entirely wrong about there being a repetitive script, by any means. I just think it gets brought up so often because it's on a list of possible issues, whether it truly applies or not.

I'm still fairly new around here, but abuse was the first thing I thought of and I'm not one to jump to that conclusion at all. That said, I agree that it wasn't something he was coming to from his own perspective. The danger is that he could run with that and use it as an excuse to badger her...

Alex, I've been exactly where you are. On my blog over in the Life Stories section, I've given a play-by-play of what I went through during overnights that my partner Audrey went on. Sitting there while she's out on a date...one of the worst things is not knowing when she's coming back. The...

Had a blast last night doing almost next to nothing. After Audrey helped me do an insane amount of yard work that I told her she didn't have to do, her sister, mother, sister's best friend and two other people came over to relax on my picturesque front porch. I put out cheese, bread, hummus...
