Last night’s reunion went quite well, just as I expected. At one point on the ride home from the airport I put my hand on W’s leg for a few seconds… no flinch and she didn’t slug me either! At home I warmed up a veggie rice and egg dish I had made previously. She enjoyed it and commented that it was very good. (I’m not up to T2 cooking level, but I’ve come a long way!)
She told me all about her resort, showed me pictures on her iPad, and gave me details of what she did. I filled her in abut the family events I went to over the weekend. It was a very pleasant time together.
She also gave me a shirt as a gift “for taking care of the kids” (pets) while she was away. “for being such a wonderful H while I’m searching for myself” would have been even nicer, but what the hey, I'm not complaining!
There was a trip last year W returned from in an absolutely horrible mood. Drank too much one night and had to be taken to her room by resort staff. Slipped in the pool and whacked her head. Dropped her iPad in the water too, which ended up needing to be replaced. She admitted later that she felt dizzy for several weeks after this. Thankfully, my W's been very conservative with the drinking and partying. Even told me one time “You can only go out so much, and drink so much” (a realization that there must be a better answer for fixing the feelings she is dealing with)
I will continue to enjoy each day we have together, while looking for opportunities to move forward with making my desires known. I still believe we will have an even better, and more intimate M in the future.
Gosh I love my sweetheart.
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
