Ok, it's not really day 2, but I wanna catch up a little bit and I have the time.
Day 2 is supposed to be about my first love.
I have to say Jim.
It may sound silly or corny, but he really is/was my first love.
I was 24 when we met.
I had never had any boyfriends that lasted longer than 6 months.
We've been together for 15 years.
We are total opposites and yet completely complimentary with each other.
I'm a Libra, he's an Aries. From what I have heard, that's either the perfect or worst combination.
I'm going with the former although sometimes it feels like the latter.
We met in SF.
We sorta dated.
We broke up.
We got back together
We moved to Seattle
We gave me a ring on our 15th Anniversary.
I didn't care, I didn't need it.
I am more in love with him now than I have ever been.
Jim and I have had a very interesting relationship. Most of my friends didn't like jim. Of course all his friends loved me. I'm fun.
He's a total glass is half empty and I'm a total-oh! glass is half empty, time to order another cocktail kind of guy.
I'm described as happy go lucky
Jim was described as a cranky mother fucker.
We fight. Bicker. He bugs the shit out of me and we hold each other to unrealistic expectations but it's all ok.
He's complicated.
He's amazing.
A conversation we had after a few months of dating:
Jim is freaking out about our dating and is trying to break up with me.
Jim: I just don't think I should be in a relationship right now. And you're so young (he's 9 years older). I just don't think it's a good idea.
Me: What are you worrying about? Look Jim. First of all, you're my first boyfriend and no one marries their first boyfriend. More than likely, we're going to break up.
So, I would suggest that you stop worrying and enjoy the time we have with each other.
If it doesn't work out, hey, no problem, we had a good time.
If it does work out, hey, great, we had a good time.
Now, just relax. Geez!
That's Jim and I.
