Adult Conversation

Ok...obviously, you prefer to not lose me. And I'm good with that. I'm even better with how upfront you were and how you actually talked to me.

Having an adult conversation with someone isn't typically an easy task.  Like it or not, most "adults" don't really know how to behave as such.  Especially if there are feelings and emotions involved.

Yesterday was very likely the best adult conversation I've ever had with a man about my relationship with him.  I know...you don't like the word "relationship."  But like it or not, we have one.  It isn't the fully committed, spend the holidays with each other's family type of relationship, but according to Merriam-Webster...well...

1. a romantic or sexual friendship between two people

2. the way in which two or more people or things are connected

Suck it.  It's a relationship...lol.

So anyway...best adult conversation.  I didn't have to deal with petty excuses about this or that.  I didn't have to listen to you whine or hide behind your walls.  No, you just said what was on your mind and listened to me as I spoke what was on mine.  It was refreshing. And I walked away with a better understanding of "us"...and of you, really. 

And the truth is, I didn't think it was possible, but I actually have more respect for you as a man than I did before we talked.  Go figure.
