We are bouncing back and forth between Stages 2 and 3.
I could sense that she was getting a little scared again over the past couple days. She told me this morning that she would like to "not see each other" this weekend, that we should both hang out with friends. I said "sure, no problem, I'll go ahead and make plans then". Next weekend we are doing the full court press for her birthday on Saturday; a fancy dinner, a night in a hotel, then a family dinner on Sunday.
Last weekend was pretty intense for us, lots of R talk and future talk, but all positive. But, she gets a little funny the day after we do that, every time. She says she feels like we're moving too fast. I totally get that, especially after reading fish's piece about taking your time in each stage.
Sooooo.....tomorrow night I'm going out for beers and dinner with a buddy, Saturday morning is yoga, in the afternoon I will finish painting the apartment, Sat night probably go to a movie. Sunday I will see where my 10k training has taken me...I'll do a 6k run along the ocean.
So, it's easy for me to "get a life"...I already have one
None of this makes me panic. She has told me she is coming home. That was a huge thing for her to say. I believe her. Why rush all this living into a time when we should be taking it easy? We need to savor the journey back.
