Success! Now I can continue.
So, anyway, I told WarMan that I was very confused and feeling not very important or prioritized in his life, and coming right off a trip where I was hurrying home to see everyone, that the feelings sucked. I told him I really did need to sit and clarify with him what exactly he was doing in this relationship, and did he not realize how he was telegraphing things? He told me I needed to listen to what he was saying - that his words were saying everything exactly. Though, he said that yes, he shouldn't have said adopted family and just been straight out saying it was Monkey's extended family.
Of course, I have been working really hard the last few years to judge people based on their actions, not on their words. I am too trusting and forgiving in lots of areas of my life - I have actually made a concentrated effort to look beyond words and read what someone's actions are telling me. And I am sorry, but the actions I am seeing aren't lining up.
I told him I would adjust the Christmas morning for everyone in the household, but he has yet to tell me what time that should be exactly.
We had more discussions on the couch but time was escaping us and I left for my 4 pm party at like 4:15. I felt good where the conversation had ended but I did still feel a little bit concerned about our overall relationship. I put it out of my mind and had a super fun time at the party, hanging out with all my lady friends (it was a girls hangout at a friend's house - silly holiday games, snack foods and alcohol). I actually fielded a bunch of questions about WarMan and how my guys were doing - it was nice to have that acceptance of my life front and center.
As I was driving over to WarMan's at 9, as agreed, I called him up and we talked as I drove. He asked me what I needed from him to feel better, and I told him I needed to hear that he loved me and that he wanted to be a primary and that he has my back if members of his family don't want me around. Because, I really need that from my guys - if I can't trust that any of those are true, then I need to shift my thinking, because it isn't healthy for me to think one thing if it is actually another thing entirely.
When I arrived at WarMan's house, he gave me a huge hug - the one I needed - and he told me all of those things.
So that was good.
He was clearly feeling agitated though, and I felt bad we had spent so much time on my issues. I told him to work on what was most important, and I spent time wrapping his Christmas presents that he had bought for others, to free him up to do what he needed to do.
It was funny because when we finally made it into the bedroom, he was insistent that he needed to fuck me but I didn't let him penetrate me because I was afraid of harming his junk. Seriously, his balls are heavily bruised and kind of scary. We did have some amazing sex though, I have to say. I actually need to tell my BFF that her boyfriend is full of crap - there wasn't much hesitation from WarMan about cumming down my throat at all - his sex drive did not shut off for a month or even a week lol
So, Monday morning I spent the whole time catching up with my Biology class and grading their final quizzes and preparing transcripts. I left WarMan's, ran to the store to grab some gift bags, then went home to finished wrapping my gift for my homeschool Christmas party that afternoon. I had like a half hour break between that. So I grabbed my daughter and our gifts (she had a secret Santa gift exchange with the other kids in the group, and mine was a white elephant sort of thing with the moms) and we were on our way.
The party was from 2 to 4 pm and it was fun. My gift was actually the most popular and it was stolen many times. I came home with an AeroPress coffee maker. I don't drink coffee. Lol DarkKnight was enthusiastic about it though, so that is something, I suppose.
Upon arriving home, I took everyone's order and then drove to Alekos - a drive thru Greek place - with PunkRock and picked up dinner. We ate and then headed out to see Star Wars! No spoilers, but I have to say I rather liked it. At no time was I surprised though, and the storyline is definitely things seem before, but it was enjoyable, beautifully done and it felt like a Star Wars movie.
At the end of the movie, I looked at my phone to see that WarMan was having a bad night. He had actually asked where in the theater we were sitting, because he wanted to see me but there had been no seats available. He actually ended up seeing Star Wars by himself after we left the theater.

This made me very sad, as I had absolutely included him when I purchased our tickets but he had said no because he thought he would probably see it with Monkey. Also that it might be awkward in the theater with everyone wanting to sit next to me.
Anyway, it really bummed me out that he was so bummed out. Actually, last night was the first time I ever felt super torn between all of my guys. I could tell that WarMan needed some lifting up, but since we were separated by time, distance and Star Wars, it just wasn't going to happen. And DarkKnight was really needing some time with me - I feel like he has continued to get the short end of the stick and I don't like that he has been so accommodating. Especially since I miss his face! Last night after the movie though - holy crap, I don't know what happened.
We all came in from the car and I was kissing PunkRock goodnight. Sometimes I will go downstairs and give him some lovins before heading up to bed with DarkKnight. I hadn't felt anything special going on in that regard with him, really, and was thinking I'd just get some kissyface and then go have sex with DarkKnight. Nope.
When PunkRock kissed me, it was like being transformed. Every fiber of my being focused on him and just froze. I could feel my energy just react with him and I NEEDED to be with this man. He could sense the change in me and responded in kind.
Yeah, we had amazingly hot sex last night.
I have no idea what caused that shift but when it hit, fuck, it was intense. I went from being stressed and overscheduled to just being riveted on him and his body and needing to have him inside me.
Ahem.
All that aside, honestly, I was back upstairs with DarkKnight in not that much time, and we had good snuggles. He told me he was actually too tired for sex but wanted to get some from me on Wednesdsy, which will be our next sleepover. Of course I said yes to that.
Gah! My schedule though! My house seriously looks like a bomb went off. I made my youngest promise to clean the dining room today, since that is the first room people see when entering my house. Top to bottom, super clean. Me, I need to empty my bedroom, which I should have done on Sunday or Monday, and make it completely cat free, so WarMan can have an allergen free place in my house. That and grocery shopping are my priority today. Everything else is going to have to wait. Well, I do have some Biology class transcripts to address and mail, and my friend who is adopting Winnie needs paperwork emailed to her, and I have some stuff to clean up in the game room and living room, but my bedroom and groceries are paramount and everything else is going to have to wait.
I have a gift wrapping party to attend tonight from 7 to 9 pm, but I don't have much to wrap as the last minute present I was still agonizing over was WarMan's, so that means one gift. Lol Actually, it is going to require some creative wrapping skills so I need some time to focus on it. I think I might also take my ornament that I haven't finished making yet - the one to commemorate the trip to the Mutter Museum this year.
Time to get to it!
