Having participated in Kat's thread about how long it has been since I have had sex (nine years and counting), it makes me wonder whether I should reevaluate my boundary of not being a "one night stand" type of person. To recount, W has been the only person I have had sex with (after going out on several dates and finding we really enjoyed each other's company) although there were a few instances before then where I could have "lost it" but I would not allow myself to go there. Shyness and timidity certainly played a part in that but I also believe that I wanted an emotional investment in the relationship - which didn't happen for me until W and I met all those years ago and something "clicked."
Maybe I'm overanalyzing things ...
It's been a quiet week with the kids out of school for the summer. Early tomorrow morning D leaves on a church field trip for the week (something W signed her up for but never bothered to ask me about beforehand - coparent fail on her) and S is going to a camp nearby during the days. Naturally this messes up my work schedule somewhat since (for three days this week) I need to be at the house to make sure S is ready for pickup by W and that cuts into my normal work hours. W already asked that I take D to the meeting place for her field trip which I agreed to. When I mentioned to D that W had asked me to do this, D just shook her head as in "you have got to be kidding me." Fortunately I went into work this morning to get a lot of my normal Monday morning activities addressed so catering to W doesn't put me behind the 8-ball as it normally would...
