If I am going to be honest, this is probably the first real relationship I've been in since I was married. And heck, our marriage wasn't even a real R.
I don't think he imagined that I would be with him on Easter, however, I finally did realize that he pretty much does assume we will be together on his off time and my non-kid time (and even on kid time). Like last night, he did assume since D9 was going off to dance then her dad's that he would be over later. And I actually did like it. It sounds pathetic, but I haven't dated a guy who didn't just ask to do something at the last minute when it suited him. I forget I am in a real relationship now where this person wants to be with me.
"That's my girl, and she will be with me" is something I kind of always wanted and never ever got. And that is his attitude. I like it a lot.
Friday night D9 and I are having a girls night. He called his cousin when I told him that to hang out. He rarely actually makes plans with someone else unless I have my own. But he never gets upset when I make my own. He just finds something to do.
I am realizing a lot as I type this,lol.
I don't think I am trying to place an expectation, but I think I am looking to figure out what the intentions are a little more. because it's my own fault and I went and involved D9 early on and she is attached. This is where my need to see into the future a little is coming from.
He is very different than the other guys I have ever dated. And you are right, I shouldn't treat him like them.
I am going to express what I would like to see down the road. I am not even scared to so like I was with all the others.
