Snowbunny made us tacos for dinner last night, and that was good. Brother-Husband and I watched a Black Mirror episode. Today, Snowbunny might go out to help set up some Barn Hunt stuff (arranging the bales). And I might have a cup of port.

BH and SB both went to the Barn Hunt setting-up. They got home after 9:00 p.m., ate while they were out, and brought me takeout for dinner (Mexican from Federico's). I turned in right away after dinner.

I had my cup of port. Good stuff.

I have been caught up in a new romantic relationship. It is exciting and a little scary at the same time. I have said so much on this forum about best practices and what pitfalls to avoid. I just hope I can follow my own advice, I hope I won't screw this up.

SB knows that this new person is my friend, but I haven't told her that it's become a romance. To tell you the truth, it's turned into a romance rather fast, and I don't want to gush to SB about it. But of course I don't want to wait too long to tell her either. This is very much a long-distance relationship, so there are limits on what can happen and how soon.

BH doesn't know about this at all, I haven't been in as much of a hurry to tell him, and I'm not as worried about his reaction. With SB I didn't know what to expect. But she took the news well, and added that she would be okay with it if a romance did arise, she just didn't want me to get burned (as I have been in the past).

I wasn't sure whether to post about this here, and so soon. But to tell you the truth, I'm having a hard time thinking about anything else. NRE has truly caught a hold of me.
 
So happy for you! Enjoy the NRE. 🥰
 
Thanks. It is pretty heady stuff.

I think I've decided to break the news to BH and SB tonight, over dinner. I'm a little scared, because I don't know how they'll react. But I'm trying to be an optimist about it.

I don't know if I have mentioned, that we have three rats now. They are living in a multi-level cage in my room. Their job is to help the dogs get Barn Hunt practice, but I also consider them to be my three little friends. We have tentatively decided to name them Larry, Curley, and Mo.
 
Welcome to the long distance relationship club!

Haha, you're right SEASONEDpolyAgain, my reaction to this whole thing is kind of funny. To be honest it all seems unreal, I never thought my life would take such a strange turn.

Alas, I can't give you m/any details, at least not yet, my new girlfriend is not ready to be so exposed. But I will take one chance and admit to you, that for the first time in my life, I have tried some "erotic fiction" with her. It has certainly heated things up between us!

Thanks Evie. This is actually the second time in my life that I have been in a long-distance relationship. The first one lasted a few months, and then I moved out of Utah and into Michigan, and it wasn't long after that when that good lady and I were married. This (much more recent) long-distance relationship is probably going to remain long-distance for a lot longer than that first LDR. It's both horrible and wonderful.
 
Thanks to Covid and the world shutting down, it took me over 3 years to be able to hug Puck. It's hard, but it's worth it when you finally get that time together. It is indeed both horrible and wonderful.
 
Agreed. Sorry you had to wait so long with Puck.
 
12:08 p.m., Saturday the 1st

So BH, SB, and I have a "date" with Eponine and her partner tonight for dinner. I am looking forward to it. I just hope I don't have another dizzy spell like I did last time! Don't know why that happened to me, it hit me out of nowhere.

Tomorrow, BH and SB will go on a road trip with our friend Sam. I will have the run of the house (with Rainee, Fred, the rats, and I guess maybe the dogs), so I guess we will throw a wild parter together, LOL.

SB went out today (I was still in bed) to maybe run some errands and pick up a few groceries. She arrived back here at the house maybe five or ten minutes ago.
 
4:10 p.m., Sunday the 2nd

Alas, Eponine's partner wasn't feeling too good, and we had to cancel. I mean I still got to go out with SB, she had some errands to run. And we had a nice dinner at home (slow cooker chicken and green beans). Hopefully we'll be able to reschedule something with Eponine and her partner. I should probably give Eponine's partner a nickname, perhaps Jeff? if I can remember that.

While I'm giving out nicknames, I want to give my new girlfriend a nickname. I have been giving names that started with the same (sound or) letter as the first letter in their real name, so along those lines I have settled on the name, Roxanne.

en.wikipedia.org

Roxanne (film) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org

If you haven't seen that film, I recommend it. It is a fun and heartwarming film. I chose the name Roxanne because this new relationship reminds me of the two main characters in that film. Like in the film, if I can't be with Roxanne literally, I can still woo her with my words.

Anyway it's a great movie. Check it out.
 
Yeah, sorry about the last minute cancellation! I was hoping to hear more about Roxanne over dinner haha. Hopefully we'll manage to meet up in the coming weeks!
 
This month's gonna be extra busy, with myself and then SB being out of town. Perhaps we can arrange something within the next couple of weeks, or if not that, hopefully early in August.

I have to be careful about how much I tell anyone about Roxanne yet, she is not ready to be exposed (especially here on the forum). But perhaps I could sneak you a few details over dinner!
 
5:56 p.m., Monday the 3rd

Dammit, I'm so stupid sometimes. I proposed to Roxanne. Way too soon, needless to say. It freaked her out, to put it in her words. And yeah, we live on opposite sides of the globe, and I didn't happen to run this by BH and SB, and and and.

Roxanne says she's okay, and still wants me to message her tomorrow, so I guess I didn't completely ruin things. I'm just hitting myself on the side of my head. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

Having gotten that much out of my system, can I just say that my proposal was sincere? I wasn't just asking, I really meant it. I mean yeah, it's better for us to wait a few years before considering stuff like that, but it's still how I really feel. I know I know, it's the NRE talking. I just thought hey, life is too short not to follow your heart.

It's one of my faults. I get committed too deep, too fast. All I can do is hope that Roxanne can forgive me for my faults, cause I have a lot of them, and this was one of them.

Odd place to be. Just a month ago none of this would have troubled me. Not even a little. I didn't think I was a great catch, and I didn't need anyone new in my life. But now I need Roxanne. Suddenly I am very vulnerable to her in that way.
 
I recommend the movie Cyrano, which stars Peter Dinklage! It’s based on the same as Roxanne. :)

I hope you can reign in your NRE, and your new girlfriend can move past your excitement in jumping the gun.
 
You proposed marriage to Roxanne, who lives on the other side of the world, and you've never met, without running it by your current partner? I just want to make sure that's what you meant.
 
1:58 p.m., Tuesday the 4th

Well, in my feeble defense, I do want to clarify that I meant it more as a virtual (make-believe) marriage than a literal one (with the rings and piece of paper). But it should have dawned on me that she might take it literally. Sorry, my brain was broke.

She messaged me about it again today, which was a huge relief, I needed to apologize to her, and I was afraid she just wouldn't ever want to talk about it again. She's been very kind and understanding about the whole thing, and she pointed out that she's had some bad experiences with romance in the past, experiences that make it hard for her to trust a relationship that has bloomed so fast (abruptly).

I think I did see the movie Cyrano (Cyrano de Bergerac, the 1950 film) quite a few years ago. I liked it, and it helped me enjoy the movie Roxanne all the more.
