She’s down it twice in front of friends thinking it’s funny. I think she wants a reaction from me but I haven’t given her one. But it does annoy me and I think it’s disrespectful. It also does make me a little nervous.

I did Mark thanks. What she wants is for us to date exclusively and take things slowly. I just feel at times it’s on her terms. I’m trying to be patient and understand but it’s wearing on me.

She tells me not to read anything into it…I think she’s deliberately trying to establish boundaries for herself because she admits that it was so easy for us to go too fast. We both have young kids and she freaked out because she saw us having a blended family. I reminded her that that is something way down the road. I think she’s scared and confused. She says when it’s just the two of us it’s magic and it really is…I just don’t understand why we can’t simplify things and focus on the good.
