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?

Heh. I daydream about it all the time. It's not that I want to get rid of my current SO - I'm very content with him. But content is a very different thing from the fresh, dizzying experience of a new relationship.

Yeah! *sigh* I've only ever had one ltr in my life and I'm still in it. But I totally get the thrill with new friends regularly. Strangely enough, I never imagine leaving Snake for any of those new friends. The new-improved-dream-lover is always a fantasy construct. For instance, I'm thrilled to be getting to know rfmcdpei and he's real cute and all, but I don't imagine settling down with him.
