Mark and I seem to have come to a decision about our relationship, or at least, our new position until the next one comes along.
I wonder how long it will take to teach Mark that, when he doesn't like the way something is going, he should tell somone instead of waiting them to leave in frustration.
Boy, I guess for you guys reading this, it really makes no sense, huh?
So, it's like this you see...

My boyfriend Mark talked me into being his girlfriend basically by promising me what I wanted: we would get married and have kids. So a few months ago he realized he wasn't ready to deal with that decision yet and I've been miserable watching him be miserable about the relationship... and scared, too, because what if I asked and he told me to get the f*** gone?
So, basically, he said he wasn't ready to get married and have kids because he always imagined being in middle class suburban hell. And I said, what if you don't do it that way? What if you go be adventurous and I'll stay home and look after kids and you can come see us when you need a rest? And he said it sounded like fun, but he would feel like he wasn't taking responsibility for his family.
So I said we would be in a community of friends, we would make sure we had an 'extended' family, maybe even a nest, so that he could be assured his kids were raised by a group of people he could respect and love.
He said it sounded good... I said, so why don't we do that?
Now, there's one other person who needs to know...

Existential Rant

I've decided I should write a Country and Western song called, "I Used to Have a Soul, but I Checked It with My Emotional Baggage (and Now It's in Albuquerque and I'm in Des Moines)"
