Ok. Print The Labels. I've Got It.
Mar. 24th, 2009 11:11 pmIt's not an open relationship. It's a casual relationship.
CASUAL. That word. It just came to me, while I tossed and turned last night. And oh, do I feel that much better for being able to properly label something!
Since yesterday I pretty much left things with B as "I don't know what to say to you, I'm going home," I sent him a text this morning saying I wasn't mad at him and he should come over if he actually wanted to keep talking about this. And he did, and I made breakfast, and we ate and made coffee and stuff, and sat by the windows and chilled out, and I think B may have been a little wary that I might fly off the handle all of a sudden or something.
I explained to him about the letter from my mom about tax shit, and showed it to him, and he read it and told me it sounded pretty sincere to him, like she really does miss me, etc, but was kind of reluctant to say much else being that he's never met her and I don't talk about my parents, pretty much ever.
( And we had a long and leisurely conversation with lots of Q&A-ing and hypothetical situations and whatever )
Anyway, I guess we've mostly worked things out. This is not an open relationship but it is not officially exclusive either. It's casual. And that feels okay to me.
