No drama …

… no drama … no drama … I continue to remind myself of that, although it isn’t easy Not to participate in the adjustment that Dan is going through with the change in our relationship.  I regret telling him how I felt when we met in July.  I thought (expected) our friendship to be stronger than sex, and it seems that without the sexual aspect, our relationship has become strained.  I hope sex wasn’t the glue holding our friendship together, because at this point from where I sit, it sure as hell feels like it was.  Wow … that felt good to get out … is it drama to say this to him??  Writing it here is one thing, but unless I tell him (or anyone for that matter) how I feel, it’ll just sit in my chest like a lump.  Too many times in my life I’ve swallowed my words, my thoughts, my feelings … all because I don’t want to rock the boat … dammit anyway!!  I’m tired of biting my tongue and being understanding instead of being understood … sigh … oh man, this really matters to me.  Drama or not, I’m going to tell him how I feel.

I think you should do whatever feels right for you. If you feel it’s important to mention this to him, do it. Do what is good for you. With that said, I would guess that he won’t handle it well. I hope I’m wrong.

Thank you H! for the encouragement and reminder to do whatever feels right for me … after all, that’s what this next chunk of time is for in my life … interesting how easy it is to forget;)

I would have told him the rules at day one and then if he really doesn’t love you or want you for who and what you are then there are plenty of other fishes in the waters…..Us women need to be more demanding in the way we are to be treated…we are number 1…..

Us women need to love ourselves first and know what we want before we can expect anyone else to give it to us … that’s where I am right now … loving myself and figuring out what I want:) … and it ain’t sex hahahahaha
