[Couples Therapy] 20.2 - Effort In A Relationship
For a really good relationship, one that looks to actually go somewhere? I’m willing to go pretty damn far, to be honest. Case in point? My current boy of choice, Noah...and I choose my words carefully there, yes. On purpose, too...I mean, I guess you could say we’re doing the long distance relationship thing, making him an actual real-life boyfriend? But...well, I’m not actually sure we’re in an actual relationship.
I mean...does a vacation weekend full of some really fabulous sex and a handful of phone calls a relationship make? I never used to have this problem, so I’m kind of at a loss. And maybe the sex was more than just great sex. And maybe it’s bene more than a handful of phone calls...and he remembered my birthday...and I got his kid something for hers, so there’s been letters and trinket-swapping...
Oh my God, I have a boyfriend and I didn’t even know it.
I guess I’ve been...cyber-dating? I don’t know...but I’ve been doing it without even realizing it. Noah just makes it so easy...keeping in touch, talking, working around both our schedules and our families. He has a kid, did I mention that? A little girl I think I’m in love with. Seriously, I’m this close to dating him just so I can talk to his daughter. She’s amazingly cool...smart as hell and scarily perceptive. I mean, the single father thing takes a HUGE hurdle out of our relationship, because I don’t have to be afraid that my kid will freak him out or get hurt. I know how he is with Hannah, and I’ve talked to her.
AJ will never suffer if things go bad between us. And I’m not saying they will, just...
The last time I met the perfect man, he knocked me up and tossed me aside like a used rag. Noah’s...he’s not perfect, but he’s damn close. He makes no promises, he just...is what he says. And he cares...he cares a lot, too much to even bullshit his kid...much, anyway. She’s sharp, I mentioned that, right?
So eventually, I’m gonna get down to Magnolia and see him again. Unless he beats me and comes back up here for something. And I’m gonna try to keep this going and make this work...see if there’s something here to pursue. It looks good...promising. And for that, I’ll go the distance. I mean...hell, it’s my happily ever after, right? And if I see it up ahead, I’ll give my right eye to add a little length to the arms so I can reach out and grab onto it with both hands.
