Christmas light reflections

December 09 2009

sex

Okay, so this isn't a post about sex.  It isn't about much at all really.  Call it the Seinfeld style post.  A post about nothing.   I'm sitting here at the computer, it's 12.17am and I can't sleep. I've been painting the interior doors and trying to pretty up the house for the upcoming silly season rush.  I'm tired.  I'm sore from getting into un-natural positions for something that isn't nearly as fun as sex, painting.  My partner went to bed hours ago and there are 3 children asleep in their rooms.   Where is this leading?? Stuffed if I know.  I have christmas carols playing softly on the stereo and I'm looking at the Christmas tree with it's blinking lights and I can't believe I'm here.  I'm finally here.  After years of crap and fighting to get ahead in life, emotionally and physically, I'm here.    We met at CI last January.  By July I'd moved in.  I thought things were great.  I thought things couldn't get better.    I WAS WRONG!!!  (you've got in writing now, I have admitted to being wrong, but it's only this once)   Things do get better, every day I wake up and it's better than the day before.  Sure, we have all the crap life throws at us.  Having step children in the picture makes for one hell of a bumpy ride.  But you know what?? I love it.  Every single bleeding minute of it.    I finally have a man who I can share every single part of me with.  There are no shady areas, there are no dark corners, the lights are on baby and we can see EVERYTHING!!!  Every single day is wonderful, I wake up in the morning and wonder where the day will take us.    No, we are not perfect, far from it but it is those imperfections that make us fit together so well.  Please please please tell me I'm not Carol friggin Brady incarnate.....please tell me that other couples feel this.  This bond that comes with being completely honest and open with each other.  Of the deep love, trust and respect that overwhelmes you.    Stick your hands up if you have this or have had it.  Because I have never been here and god damn it's grand.   Ali

    Ok. Yep that's beautiful. I get it and yeah you put French collars in the brushwork on those doors so they'll need to be sanded off and repainted in the dawn's daylight..... but that feeling off contentment is a beautiful feeling. Please remember to switch off those fairy lights b4 you go to sleep so that you're all safe and sound... And try to remember what that feeling was like when those three kids are 20 something, still living at home and partying at your place every night for the month leading up to Xmas because uni is on holidays... remembering that feeling won't cure your insomnia brought on by all the noise of the midweek stomping and clapping drinking games they play but it will remind you how you got in this situation. Hehe. Lots of hugs. I'm just messing a beautiful picture with my own take on it. I have to sort out my neighbour who got in an all out yelling match with my drunk kids and their friends in the street last night at 2am. I managed to sleep through that but the note slipped under my door tells all. Sigh. Gaz Hugs Gazza

    Yes, we're lucky enough to have this kind of relationship you're describing. For us, though, it's more of a slow burn type of love, less of the fiery, incredibly passionate kind we had while younger. Somehow, that doesn't detract from the relationship -we've got a sort of chummy, friendly, sort of link, interspersed (frequently) with bouts of hot sex. Suppose it's a case of the candle that burns twice as bright also burns twice as fast. Dunno, but it really works for us. And yes, you're completely right - it's grand :).

    Same here DrinALi.  I wasn't looking for him, but I found him anyway.  And finally, I feel like a real woman, a true partner, grown up and childlike all at once, and just bloody thrilled!  I learn so much from him everyday, it's sometimes challenging but always awesome :)If you're Carol Brady, I wonder, does that make me Alice??

    What a wonderful, positive outlook and attitude which are some of the qualities that can get one through the tuff times that come ones way.Thus when ones partner has the same values working just as hard to keep the relationship workingis a blessing.Life is wonderful..when we look for the positives then its easier to see beauty of this world.(.if that makes sense)least there's hope,for better things(.non material)..stronger marrage bonds.etc.May yours and lilmissfussy....relationships grow stronger and deeper as time goes by.as their is no other partnership betterwhen it works to both peoples health and welbeing.xoxoxheymumma wishes you all great happiness

    Gaz,  we have 4 kids all up.  Two are mid teens already.  God help me when they get to their twenties if that is the case!!  I dare say our neighbours would find them more palatable than our rooster though.  You just get notes under your door?? Geez, we get them knocking on our door at 5am to yell abuse at us.  Your a lucky duck Gaz.   lilmissfussy, Yay!! Isn't it wonderful to find "the one".  After years of false starts and bastards in disguise, it is nice to be part of something more.  If it wasn't for all those nasty bastards though I wouldn't appreciate the gorgeous man in my life the way I do though so I guess in some weird warped way I thank all of them for being the pricks they are. As for you being Alice, well you would be the best damn looking Alice I've ever seen.   Heymumma, life is a big journey and I wouldn't change a single bit of mine.  Everything that has happened has led me to where I am now.  I'm in a loving, secure relationship where I am free to express myself emotionally, physically and sexually.  I see friends that have been married for many years that haven't got that.  I read these forums on here from people who say they can't talk to their partner about what they want sexually and I find it sad.  It's the most liberating and empowering feeling to know that there is nothing I can't talk to my partner about.  I fear no judgement or ridicule from him.  We are looking forward to taking things places together and enjoying the experiences together.

    Yes it happens and its god damm amazing!  Our first year anniversary is coming up in January next year and I cant get over how much fun and laughter I have had this year with my amazing man!  This is the happiest I have ever been in my life and I look forward to each day!  He has seen how I look first thing in the morning (sometimes with my face pack on - and that aint a pretty site!), he plucks my nipple hairs and comforts me when I am down and he makes me laugh every single day!  He has opened my eyes to so much and I thank him for being in my life and for wanting to do this adventure together!  Love you babe!   Pusscat
