I was to talk to her parents this evening. Spoiler alert: it happened and went well. But this morning I woke up with the sinking feeling. I just felt like the truth is, I don’t like what she says about 40% of the time. By the end of the day I found myself thinking, thisContinue reading “Doubt talking to her parents”

Print smaller
B came over to my house to print something. On her way she called and described her situation. She said, “Your printer prints smaller, and these words are already small so I need to check it still comes out legibly on your printer.” I said with skepticism, “What do you mean it prints smaller?” IContinue reading “Print smaller”
Super bowl, holding discomfort
There was a moment on Sunday, driving up to the Super Bowl where I started crying happy tears. I get to spend the rest of my life with her. I was working out the details of marrying her while our song played. 100 days by the Bengsons. Maybe we can get married 100 days afterContinue reading “Super bowl, holding discomfort”
Doubt and Proposal
So I bought a diamond and left them my mother’s setting in which to place the diamond. It’s crazy thinking that we still have terribly hard days and yet I’m still choosing to go forward. My sinking feeling is that the truth might be that I just don’t like her that much. But some daysContinue reading “Doubt and Proposal”
Fancy Date Gone Bad
I went to the Shane Company on Saturday to look at rings. Later that evening I took B out on a really nice date. I showed up and was overwhelmed at how beautiful she was. I let her know with my eyes, my words, my arms. We showed up for our dinner reservation and satContinue reading “Fancy Date Gone Bad”
A Love When You Don’t Like
The other day I think I experienced a new type of love. I’m used to evaluating if I feel affection toward her each day or not. That’s what I usually obsess about, when it comes down to it. But there was a day where I didn’t feel affection for her. And I didn’t feel attraction.Continue reading “A Love When You Don’t Like”
Asking for Her Family’s Blessing
After we got back together B asked me to talk to each of her siblings. I called them tonight. I wasn’t feeling very into the relationship for most of today. I’m thinking sometimes I just don’t like her enough. That’s what haunted me today. I was at the coffee shop at which I plan toContinue reading “Asking for Her Family’s Blessing”
You frustrate me 50% of the time
I showed up the other night and she was great to offer to help me with a project before we went to small group (this is how great she is!). It was taking video of this box set I made for sale and she suggested we do it with Instagram Reels. So she showed meContinue reading “You frustrate me 50% of the time”
Routine of Good Thoughts
So I felt like God has been growing me to be the type that is in control of my thoughts. Because that will have to be absolutely essential to make this survivable. My friend had told me about how John Gottman says to reprogram your brain by stating 5 good things you like about theContinue reading “Routine of Good Thoughts”
God: I will not take my ring from you
So on that night we repented for crossing sexual boundaries over the past couple of months, B led me through some “spiritual healing.” She had said, I think a lot of your hangups with me have to do with your dad, and your dad’s perspective of your mom (I had told her my mom didn’tContinue reading “God: I will not take my ring from you”
