Don't answer that, I know, you're in love with him, you've got your reasons. From an outsider's perspective, though, I'd just like you to know how really NOT a loving, long-term mutually beneficial relationship (LLTMBR) this is. I am saying this to you because it took a girlfriend telling me, in my similar situation, just how hideously I was behaving by handing my power, my choices, my personality, and my responsibility over to a man before I took a bold look and realized how I was stinking up my own life.
And all your "yeah,buts" all add up to "Yeah, but I LOVE HIM!!!!" (which is the chorus of what I call the Chicken Opera, and lots of us have sung it!  ).
Just because you love someone, though -- even if it's A LOT -- that doesn't necessarily mean you're good partners together. Good LLTMBR partners help each other feel better, in every possible way. Does Mr. Menage do that for you? |
Angela, the first thing that i have to say is that a chicken opera makes me laugh very hard. at first it just made me smile, but then as i began to actually imagine chickens singing opera and people sitting on balconies with tiny binoculars watching them -- it became hysterical. BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK! ahem.
please keep in mind that i am upset right now and i am telling you specific details but not all details. i already talk too much as it is. he is not a hideous demon.
there is something that kind of worries me, though, but it is not something i can prove even to myself. it's not something that would ever be admitted, even if it was true, i think. it is rather intimate, though, and i am not sure of how explicit i am allowed to be here.
i don't want to be offensive to anyone. i will try to say it in a way that can not offend anyone too much, and if i should take it out then please just tell me.
sometimes i think that when he does things that are to make me feel good/ feel better .. i get this deep rooted feeling that he is doing it so that i am more receptive to making love. because whenever he does, that is what follows. i don't know if it is wrong of me to see that as negative or to even think that. i guess i just wish that sometimes it would be 'just because'.
