... being single (-ish).
Confused? Don't worry, I'm also still trying to figure it out. I broke up with Julian two weeks ago, but, being the rather selfish creature I am, I said, I still want to have sex with you and be in your life and and and. He said, that's fine.
Last week he was a bit fragile and said he's like to talk. I thought, OK, but I know what this is about and I'm standing by my decision to be single. I went through that weekend ... and waited for nothing. I tried to start the conversation but as per usual in the past few years, the subject was changed and being me, I let it slide.
(When things go well for him, such as with the new job, etc, he doesn't handle "not nice" things very well).
Eventually, two weeks after initially saying he wants to talk, he asked me to go through on Wednesday night and I agreed, and we finally talked. And talked some more last night.
So, technically, we're both single, but still together. Funny how much more sense that made in my head as compared to typed out.
