Feeling better....

August 19th, 2009 at 03:56 pm

So, I had a good talk w/ my boyfriend and we did touch on the topic of the possibility that we may not be the best match for each other.

He apologized for speaking to the other woman, and he stated that he didn't want to be alone. Of course, I know that is a slippery slope, and while nothing physical happened, I don't like that they conversed.

We did have some discussion about how we communicate, and I did open up that I feel like we need to work on certain things, and he opened up that sometimes when he talks to me, he feels that I am sometimes judgemental, or that I am trying to solve his problems, when he just wants to vent. I know that this is a problem that I have in general.

I did talk with him about our future together and the possibility that it we may be better as friends, as we don't want to be the old couple who, as he puts it, argues over silly stuff in the supermarket (he hates to argue, and yeah, I am a bit argumentative).

Right now, we are taking a bit of a breather. He will be living else where, and he really needs to focus on his ill parent as their health is getting worse.

I am sad in some ways, but also I feel ok, like I am glad we talked and shared how we feel about things.

    I'm glad you communicated. It sounds like you feel better because of it...even if it may not be the outcome you prefer. Best wishes for moving forward, regardless of whom it is with.

    Yeah, it may not seem like it, but it's progress of some sort....

    Communication is key, and it leads things in the right direction -- whichever that may be. There is never any insurance with a relationship, because you can't control the actions of others, but communication makes a difference. I commend you on that... best wishes with this.
