We can have that discussion later." And I winked. I freakin' winked."</EM><BR/><BR/>You didn't. Oh, please, tell me you didn't. Doh!<BR/><BR/>You shouldn't be <EM>too</EM> jealous, Dennis. While it's definitely great to be in a good relationship, and a lot of awesome things come with it, it doesn't come without a lot of work. <EM>A lot</EM> of work. And it doesn't magically solve all your problems. The rent (or mortgage) is still due. Work still sucks. Health problems happen. There's a lot of compromising. Parents, family and friends still have issues, and people you love still pass away. In other words, life goes on.<BR/><BR/>If you love the person, it's worth all the work, but understand that to be jealous of a long-term relationship is to not fully understand what it actually is.<BR/><BR/>Take care. :-)Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02956524909645097069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524377.post-1142473404090677802006-03-15T20:43:00.000-05:002006-03-15T20:43:00.000-05:00Self-esteem issues be damned, I hope I get to meet...Self-esteem issues be damned, I hope I get to meet you when we move back to DC this summer.

Hahaha.<BR/><BR/>Anon: Also sweet of you to say, thanks. Although I should say I don't think self-esteem issues is a DC gay stereotype. Unfortunately, I think some gay men in DC have just a tad too friggin' MUCH self-esteem, if you know what I mean.<BR/><BR/>NotCarrie: Fun when actually executed. I can only execute them in certain environments where I'm pretty sure I won't get cold-cocked across the right cheekbone... including some gay bars.

All the good ones are not taken, it just seems that way. And sadly, some of the good ones prefer to stay single. So don't give up the fight ... or the search.Dop Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238255447512242559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524377.post-1142334563077300692006-03-14T06:09:00.000-05:002006-03-14T06:09:00.000-05:00Don't be jealous that he's been with some guy he m...Don't be jealous that he's been with some guy he met when he was 18. Just think of all the great guys he missed out on (i.e. you) while he stayed in that some safe, comfortable cocoon he calls a relationship. Personally, I always think it's kinda sad when people pair up in school, then stay together because they don't know anything else. It's like deciding you love chocolate ice cream in 8th grade and never trying any of the other flavors. I used to be friends with a couple who were each other's first boyfriend/girlfriend/fuck, and they got married shortly after. I can already predict their not so faraway future "fix-all" pregnancy that will undoubtedly happen.<BR/><BR/>So, don't be discouraged. If it's meant to be it will happen. :)Kirkkitschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100991825027744299noreply@blogger.com
