We had this whole conversation with him in his penguin boxer shorts.

Progress isn't inevitable. At least, not emotional progress. It takes work to change, to look at all the things that make you unhappy and deal with them, sometimes even to look at all the things that make you happy and make sure you can do what you need to do to let them keep making you happy. Work, relationships, happiness itself... none of

You can blame my linking you to this on The Boyfriend. He started it, after all!

You having a boyfriend is probably a big change for your mom, too. She'll probably soften up eventually.

I know I was pretty much an ass when my sister got a boyfriend. It took a long time to get over being mad, although I can't tell you specifically what I was feeling.

Last night, I gave him a ride home from work even though it was past my bedtime.

I can see now this whole comment is for my benefit instead of yours. This entry was chock full of good advice...and the soup thing? THAT'S SOUP-ER!

Also, is there a reason he's referred to now as "The Boyfriend" as opposed to something more original?

I took it really hard with a few of Terri's boyfriends, but others I was fine with. I think it depended on what was going on in my life at the time.

And I've taken to calling him "The Boyfriend" mostly because the idea of having a boyfriend is so surreal to me that I have to keep reminding myself that it's true.

I need a new boyfriend

You don't need a new boyfriend. You just need fewer strings.
