putting my big girl panties on

[flowmom]

Well Guitarist and I spent the last three of four nights together (two of which he had to sneak out in the early morning, poor guy). He just wants more and more...and so do I .

Wednesday evening was our first time spending time together fully clothed in a while . We went to see a friend of his play in a jazz club. It was interesting meeting his coworkers, but not much opportunity to chat and gather intel . It meant a lot to Guitarist that I was really engaged in the music and that we could talk about it. But we really are still working on getting to know one another and share non-physical stuff together.

Still tempting to think of it as a "booty call relationship", though there are a couple of things that don't completely fit with that. Last night he asked for a photograph of me. He also said "Happy Anniversary" (three months since our first date) -- then joked about it being cheesy (but he was sincere). There is serious mutual enjoyment of one another, but time will tell if it goes much beyond the physical. He is a very sweet man with a solid, good character.

I'm feeling very lucky to steal these moments of bliss with Guitarist. I think, though, how can marriage compete with this? My time with Guitarist is so uncomplicated. No kids, no shared household responsibilities, no financial stuff, no interdependence. It was pretty great with stbxh when we were in that stage too (though not as great??? hmmmm). Maybe that just means that it's a good time in my life to keep independent.

Life in a rebound relationship is AWESOME.
