Is that so?
I have to laugh...
I was catching up with Mark last night for the first time in about a month. He's been seeing this woman for the last several weeks. I asked him how it was going and he was kind of wishy-washy about it. So I pressed him a little more and he said "Well, she's kind of emotionally closed off and really hard to read."
I tried really hard, but I couldn't hold back... I snorted.
So, then he said that he was thinking about that the other day and realized that that was what it must've been like for me for all those years. And he followed that with discussion of karma and hoping he can learn something from it.
:S

I know you're all probably getting sick of hearing about this, but I just can't get over how different Brett is from Mark. He notices, without fail, any time my brow furrows and FORCES me to tell him what is on my mind. And he won't drop it until I get it out, even if it takes a half hour for me to put the thought together in a way that makes sense.
He talks to me when something is on his mind.
He looks forward to the future and excited about the road ahead and diving into the unknown.
And he loves variety. And my cooking (it is SO nice to be able to cook WHATEVER and know it will be appreciated).
And, one of the great things about him is that I haven't had to sacrifice the things that I liked about Mark in exchange for these features. I still get the sense of humor, the dependability, the nerdiness, and the practical sensibilities. But I get so much more out of him.
And his flaws are the things that add to the flavor of him, rather than try my patience or cause me to question my feelings for him.
You can stop throwing up now.
