Spring Cleaning

[Dawn70]

I'm not being judgmental about the way your R progresses. In Dawns thread she describes juggling two men, which can be drama filled, but when I read her comments I don't see what is going on in her life affecting her emotions.

So, here I am AGAIN, for the 2nd time today, hijacking G to talk about me, but I will say, Coconut, that I think G and I are VERY similar in a lot of ways. I think we think similarly. While I admit to "juggling" 2 men (which made me laugh out loud at that image, because honestly I didn't think of that way til I read what you wrote), in neither case have I allowed myself to do much emotional investing because I'm just trying to figure out where either is headed, if anywhere. The true test for me is when I start telling my family about a guy and I have not done that with either of these guys yet. Much like those of you on the board who have younger kids, not only my daughters, but my immediate family is VERY tight-knit, so when I am really interested in someone and want to make it more of a relationship-type, that is when I think of introducing them to my family. I don't want to introduce them too early only to have to tell my family it ended, if any of that even makes sense.

But, I thank you for what I perceived as a compliment that it doesn't seem to be affecting me emotionally even though seeing more than one person at a time can hold some inherent drama. I think that, in my case, one of them being on the road all the time alleviates at least some of that drama because it isn't like they both live here and I have to constantly worry when I'm with one that the other will see us together or whatever. I'm just trying to enjoy getting to know both and live in the moment and see where life takes me. I don't know that I explained any of that well, but the short version of all of this is that I think that, while Ginger and I think very similarly, we are in VERY different situations right now so we think/respond/react differently. And, of course, we are just different people in general, so we behave differently.
