( . . . continued from previous) When we got to the bar, he ordered us two club sodas with bitters. He said he was intending not to drink. I was on the fence, my self-imposed week of non-drinking being up, but I was leaning no at that moment. I ended up chatting with the singer's wife while the...

My past few days have been all right. Saturday, after I finished my last main post, Rider took me out to breakfast someplace new. It was decent. The decor was really cool—a vintage-style diner (but not the shiny kind) all decked out for Christmas. It had a good jukebox, too. Nothing like The...

Yeah, I think this is good too. I mean, it still might end up not being workable, but it seems like there's at least a chance. This is about where I'm coming at it from. It's fine if he feels whatever he feels—even if it's white-hot anger at me. I just want to see if we can set up some kind of...

Hi, Season. So, I've read this a couple of times and cannot seem to figure out how you're thinking it might apply to my situation. I've come up with two possibilities and the reasons why they don't, to me, seem to fit with what I've posted here, but maybe you can clarify and let me know where I...

Thanks, Hannah. All this is really helpful to hear and is good food for thought. I definitely do stew for days on hurtful things that were said. Learning how to let things go when the moment has passed is probably the part that is my end to work on. It's just hard for me to square in my mind...

Yeah, our communication issues are really not in that vein. That sounds more to me like he was reading hidden meanings that weren't there into stuff that you're saying. I don't think we really have that problem.

I ended up having the conversation with Dustin last night anyway. I didn't mean to, but he could tell something was on my mind and asked me, and I couldn't exactly lie to his face, so I told him I had some stuff on my mind but didn't want to go into it right after he'd just gotten home. But he...

I realized after typing that all here that there WAS one aspect of the whole thing that was really eating at me, and that was the "sigh." So I brought it to Rider and told him it had hurt me. He said it wasn't that he didn't want to hang out with me, but rather he was frustrated that Dustin's...

All heaviness aside, I just looked at the time and saw that Dustin's first plane is now in the air, and I had an honest-to-goodness SQUEEEEE! I'm giving him a ride home from the airport and then returning home so that I can do plant things in the morning. And then I get to see him after his day...

The past few days have been . . . interesting. Not in the sense of anything in particular happening—there's just been a lot going on in the me+me layer of things. Lots of thinking and planning and strategizing. In the outer world, I've had a cold, and, with Dustin gone, I've mostly just been...

Yeah, I'm fine. The fires aren't really anywhere near me, thankfully. They are on the other side of the Valley from Oona, though, and her balconies are covered in soot. And there's one where the evacuation-readiness zone ends only a couple of blocks from Pete's mom's place, where I attended that...

Thanks for this. Y'know, I wish the people around me thought the same way that you think about this. It seems largely unthinkable to people that I would be reconsidering this now, after marriage, and I've been almost shamed for it. And I know it's not ideal, for sure. I wish I would have had...

Thank you so much for sharing! :)

I have come down with a cold. Presumably I caught Dustin's before he left. I kinda knew it was coming because I already decided I'd rather get sick than not be very intimate with him before he was gone for a week. #worthit Also, as the test predicted, my real period showed up this morning with...

He's actually planning to get it done when he gets his tax return back next year, probably February or March, so that's good. He really is probably the most anti-children person I know. The other two really, really anti-kid people I know will at least occasionally put a Facebook "like" on our...

I'm not knocked up, thank fuck. My monthly frenemy is just being a jerk, I guess.

I totally agree with all of this. I plan to have a serious conversation with him about it at some point when he gets back. Maybe not the first night, but I don't plan to let it go more than a few days. I definitely agree with all of this as well. I've been trying very hard, actually, to tease...

So, what happened, if you don't mind my asking? Was the reason it ended that he didn't want to learn how to improve? I definitely don't take any of this as judgment. I greatly appreciate your (and everyone here's) thoughtful input on my situation.

Hm, I just saw this post, probably because I was writing the others. I am not sure about the "audition" thing in terms of actual relationships—he has told me that he did grow to truly love the others, but that it took time and effort, and they didn't end up being right for him in the end. He...

Thanks for the hugs <3
