Maybe you have a lot of newbie readers at the moment — I thought that last post was FANTASTIC!! You totally deserve it. Have EARNED it, even! I think, once in a while, the Fairy Tale Should Come True.

Heather,

My boyfriend did the same thing to me when I moved into his place. He was so overwhelmed with all my stuff in HIS PLACE, he completely shut down. The only useful thing he could do was go fetch me some Burger King and keep the recliner warm.

Of course, later that night, when it took me twice as long to organize and put everything away, the only visible GIRL in the house was a bookcase filled with gender neutral reading material.

To this day, we laugh about his move in freak out.

Humph.

Fish- If ANY OF THOSE people who gave you a hard time had been following your blog for a *fraction* of the time us real readers have been, and had thus been able to understand the sheer GLEE of you finally finding someone who is worthy of you after all you've been through, and all the tears-on-the-pillows posts from dbags in bars whose hats you flicked and men who didn't want children (see how loyal I am?), they would have joined the rest of your fans in a collective sigh of relief that you are finally HAPPY. And we all (the collective 'we who know how adult relationships work' we) know nothing is ever sushine-and-lollipops all the time, but it's moments like yours that make everything else worth it.

Furthermore: it's only in moments when people are actually in the middle of questioning the worthiness of their boyfriend that a comment like that would strike a nerve. Anyone with any confidence in themselves and their relationship would absolutely not take what you wrote personally. You could write on a blog "the sky is blue" and some people are going to post "What? Because green is my favorite color are you calling me a loser? Where do you get off??". And that has NOTHING to do with you.

But you knew that already.

That is all.

Yeah, I gotta say, you have been annoyingly smug about your love life recently.

(I'm sorry, I didn't read the almost 50 other posts...so I might be repeating.....)

For the love of all things jogging pants, if you want to silly-ly gloat about the loveliness that is your man...go for it! I have too....and it feels good. That said, I agree, there are times when you want to kick them in the thing you need most (or perhaps second, depending how far up 'making you coffee' is on the list) and I have aired a little dirty laundry (more than I probably should) on my current blog and the one I had for about three years before....but whatever. You're happy, you're happy. :)

And I hear ya about the mad face. I got that from my mom, too. I'm not a fan.
