Relationship Politics

[talktooloose]

It seems like letting Snake and Tutu work out their own relationship is the right thing for me to do. Without me running interference, their fights actually escalate a bit louder and higher and then they are forced to talk as adults. When I blunt the edges, it might just delay the discussion they need.

Why does this seem so obvious now?

Do those of you in ltr's ever muse about new lovers? Not necessarily specific ones but the idea of being in a new, fresh and perfectly trouble-free relationship? I've been day-dreaming about this lately. Should I be worried?

I think about that fairly often. And then I notice the joys of my existing loved ones.

It only worried me a year ago when it started to feel as though my current life was holding me back and there was nothing I could do about it. But it was the feeling of hopelessness that bothered me, not having problems to work through in existing relationships. I decided it was depression (an overreaction to real problems, rather than reasonable feelings about real problems). These days I have a more balanced perspective that has some grousing and a lot of good stuff.

Thanks again for the check-in offline, btw.

Yeah, I think it's mostly a desire for something new in life. Ironically, I'm setting up all kinds of new things in life. But these, of course, are scary since they're really under way. So I retreat to abstract change fantasies.

But I also totally understand serial relationship people. Maybe I just need a really hot six month romance.

Yeah ...

When I can contrive to have those, they do wonders for ME.
