NOTES; Two guys are together, committed to each other for the long run even though, for the present, one wants an open relationship while the other doesn't, but who, because of fear-of-abandonment issues and an honest belief in their love, their destiny, chooses nonetheless to go along. What might happen within him internally as opposed to what he

It has been pouring with rain for days. Obviously, this bad weather reflects the fucked up situation the whole bloody world has found itself in.

I'm sorry, but I'm in gloom mood today. The situation at work made me angry, then the writing teacher with his incomprehensible comment... Angry and sad and disappointed.

Your story is very sad. If I were this guy, I would do the same

“Hey, like I said, no biggie…right? Come home when--”

Only I would leave this come home when--.

I'm voting for the open and honest approach. OK, the guy 'A' is a chicken in some way - he doesn't want an open relationship - but this doesn't mean the other guy 'B' is allowed or justified to be unfaithful to him. Quite contrary! If 'B' is for openness, then he should be open on all levels

'It has been pouring with rain for days.'
On the other hand, we're experiencing a drought. all they say is 'cut back on use'. Easier said than done. Be glad for water. Eventually the sun will come, the rain will stop, the world will right itself. It's all cyclic. I hope your mood has brightened.

My story is a little sad. Been there...done that myself. But this is a moment. As I see them, they're mostly living a well-lived life. Every once in awhile, one strays, and the other copes. For B, sex is not the same as love, so he's cavalier, to him it's all so meaningless, that he doesn't even understand NOT to go where his and A's friends might see him. Obviously, it's not the same for A, but he loves. He's afraid, and he knows that eventually B will grow-up.

Hope you enjoyed your CSI. I watch NCIS a little. If you need help with writing, let me know.

'Obviously, 'C' means a lot to him. He is not just an ordinary one-night fuck.'

But he is. Remember, you're looking through A's eyes, you're seeing what he's seeing Not what may or may not be actually happening. B is not unlike Brian, just WAY less so. He's understood. C didn't get upset because he knows where he stands. A didn't get upset outwardly because he's supposed to understand B loves him. B just can't be monogamous, at least not yet.

Yes, you are right. I read, understood, and formed the impressions about the characters and story from my point of view. Instead of being objective, I was subjective - probably the result of yesterday's fucked-up mood.

Relationship thing sucks. Perhaps, that is why I am still single. I'm too much A; everything hurts and offend me. But on the other hand, I'm not a patient person. If I were A from the story, I wouldn't wait for B to grow up. Ha-ha!

I love CSI: LAS VEGAS. I call it the "original" CSI. I don't want to know anything about Miami or New York version. A couple of months ago our TV station, 'A' channel started to present Las Vegas from the beginning. It has been a pure joy watching it. Before I missed a lot of episodes. And, it's interesting how my impression about some characters changes from season to season. Especially Sarah is a very changeling character. She is a difficult person, very sensitive, easy to offend and hurt, over-principled. Gosh!

I didn't do "if" essay well (II. conditional). He didn't say I had to write it again, just that I didn't do it as he had asked. I wrote 268 words, used two "if" sentences, all others were "would". I thought it was OK. Well, it was not.
