"You're My Best Friend"

[reachingHigher]

So...I gave H more space today and he came to me after work today and wanted to talk.

It's so different when you are working on your R. My H sees me withdrawing as a sign something is wrong and he wants to fix it!

So we had a calm, pleasant talk.

It wasn't so much of a "state of the union" talk as it was a discussion of these last couple ripples and why they happened, how each of us felt, and what we can do to fix it in the future. Nice.

I actually asked him playfully as we were done talking, if he still thought I was attractive! Not recommended in first stages of DBing! He said, oh yes! And I asked if I looked "old" to him. (A great fear of mine since I am older than he is.). He looked at me and said older, but you never look old to me. Whew!

It is nice to get to this stage and have these minor issues to talk out. I'm afraid my fears are much blown out of proportion to the actual incidents. It's hard keeping the fears in check and I'm desperately wanting them to atrophy already!

We are having a quiet, pleasant evening and I am so glad I did back up a bit and then we could talk -- with HIM initiating. My plan is to be a bit more mysterious, although still loving and sweet. I think most men would like that tactic anyway!

Thanks for following along!
