Lucky to Have You
I once read that relationships are like blenders, you need one, but you’re not quite sure why. I know we all go through bad dates or relationship stress sometimes. Of course it’s not always easy to relate to one another but that’s perfectly normal and to be expected. There are probably moments when we want to throw in the towel and give up.
The truth is, we are lucky to have each other. I can honestly say showing appreciation and gratitude to your partner or date can go a long way. Even if you don’t express it in words, you can find a way to let them know that you feel fortunate to be with them. I would think this adds more potential to your budding romance or add more shelf-life to your relationship .
Why do you think we are lucky to have each other? How do you show how it?
Happy Friday! What fun and exciting things do you guys have planned?

Thats whats up. Speed bumps happen. Just a way of realigning the ship. BUT your 4:05 is quite a mouthful.

I certainly agree that it was an overreaction. He even said as much (not in those exact words). But by that time, what was done was done and now, it has to play itself out.
But I tell you, I have been one impatient, frustrated black chick the first few weeks of the new year. LOL!

we are settling into a different routine – that I am getting used to.

Just trying to stay real about it, WillieD. We haven’t quite reached the 6 month mark yet and are still learning about each other. And the extent of his reaction shook me up a bit.
But, I’m still onboard for the long haul, so I’m just going to see where it takes us. And I do believe that we are going to a good place – I really do.

It’s not that I’m UNhappy with our current routine, I had just used to him being there all the time. And considering the winter weather that has been perfect for coupling and hibernating, combined with my self-imposed spending diet, I’ve just had more nights at home that I normally would in warmer weather and freer spending days.

so what’s he doing that you spend less time together? has he increased his alone time at home with his ball?

Sexy I like the way you’re playing it…with a directed patience. I’m sure he also appreciates the breathing room to get things back on course without over-discussing the issue.

SC may have gone about it the right way, BUT it’s not the way i would recommend to lets say a friend. for him to pull back is bad in my eyes.

i really hope he comes around. but idk. the pace that he was going might have been a normal comfy pace to him. rejection is a mutha.

not necessarily, Beautiful. my s/o & i have had moments of
while learning each others’ behaviors. my reaction is to take a few steps back and quietly re-assess, while he moves right in and wants to talk through it all. pulling back is just my way of carefully thinking through what i want to say and how best to say it. some of us are prone to saying hurtful things when we feel hurt or wronged. one thing i’ve learned is to temper that. it usually helps the relationship in the long run.

SC – I also like the way you are handling this. Everything I’ve ever read from you tells me you got a good head on ya shoulders. At the end of the day you are just a Woman standing in front of that Man and I trust that you’ll do right by you.

Like WillieD, I believe that this will allow for some realignment and balance in the relationship.
I also like what DreamsMaterialize said about breathing room because quite frankly we probably needed it. We were rather consumed with each other and spent all of our free time together.
He has been spending more time at home, hanging out with his friends and yesterday, he had the time to visit a sick relative.
I am coming to appreciate the changes in the relationship because I know that every time that we are together now, it is by choice – not by default or because it’s easy or because it’s habit or routine.
