As I begin to calm down ever so slightly in this relationship, Grrr seems to have started to ratchet his insecurities (or whatever they are). He’s getting really sensitive to things like my intonation and facial expressions, and ugh…it’s getting really annoying. I’m sure he’s annoyed too. Is this too much togetherness?

Good news is he’s traveling a lot during the week, so that means I’ll have at least one or two nights a week when we’re not together (and more when I’m traveling). I think this will be a good thing. But it’s so weird that I’m thinking about this so early on.

Here’s the deal: he started in on the “moving in together” conversation while I was overseas. I had a couple of panic attacks—and yes, one of them sparked the email heard round the world. He assured me that it was only “daydreaming” and that we’d cross that bridge when it was necessary (read: his lease was up). YET! Two days later (two days before my return to the US), Grrr sent me another email saying that his neighbor asked if he could sublease Grrr’s apartment since he’s never there anyway.

That’s what led to our early roommateship. He needed to know right then and there, and told me that he’d be able to move out in a moment’s notice if need be (can move to brother’s pad if necessary), and that it wouldn’t be all his stuff, etc. etc…

So I caved and told him that the two month thing would be okay as long as we have a back up and continue the way we’ve been handling things. They seemed to be working out well.

Now…well, we’ll see.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m into him. Waaaaaaay into him. To the point where I would be really, really sad if this thing blows up in our faces. I am in love with him. Or at least big, big, really big Like.

He makes me talk about things. And that’s so good. For someone who has a hard time opening up, I do pretty well with him. Improving anyway. I just hope he continues to strive for open communication and doesn’t freak out like I do. After all, someone’s got to remain sane!!

I’m preparing back up plans just in case.
