Another weekend come and gone. Another incident with Grrr. This time, during our morning after talk, I broached the subject of counseling. He was very open to the suggestion, though he did say that he thought it might be premature for us to go while our relationship is so young and our little tiffs are not really all that make or break. But I did explain to him that enough little encounters will solidify into a major problem if we dont figure out whats behind our issues.
He says it has everything to do with drinking. Mine, his the way we react to it. And its true, we seem to only argue or get upset with each other when one (or both) of us is tipsy or drunk. And maybe thats a good point, but I think that our alcohol-induced issues are pulling out things that are more deep-seated. Some of it is very obvious. Some of it, well, I think it would be a good idea to have a mediator around when all this comes to the surface.
So I made an appointment with a decent-sounding shrink for next Wednesday. Weve been getting along famously this week so far, and it would be easy to put it off and put it off. But Im hoping that by getting in as quickly as possible, well nip some of these shooz in the bud. Im nervous about it, but Im also pretty thrilled that Grrr was absolutely and immediately positive about the whole thing.
I also want to add for the record, that after our talk about the honeymoon being over and the fact that my libido is stronger than its ever been and that I NEED to bask in that glow even if he feels comfortable and settled, well, lets just say .adjustments have been made and Im feeling a million times better. I dont know if these are permanent adjustments, but Im hoping that we are coming to a point of compromise in that department.
Again, theres more. But there are positive things going on despite the scary getting-to-know-you stuff. Im looking forward to the relationship counseling session, but Im also nervous about what we might unearth.
