We Need To Talk

I met his friends last night. He decided I should meet them, so we went to nickel draft night at a local country bar. It was actually a lot of fun. But I got drunk and started talking.

The topic of a relationship came up. I was rambling about commitment issues at the beginning and then admitting we're pretty much dating as it is. Luckily, he was sober enough to decide to save that conversation for a time when we're both sober.

We were supposed to meet after work, but things came up on both our ends. On the phone he said he wanted to continue our conversation. I told him I was drunk and an idiot, to completely ignore anything I said.  That it wasn't something totally pressing. However, he still wishes to have that conversation.

It seems we're both messed up in the relationship department. I've been in emotionally abusive relationships and am still grieving the death of my friend. His last girlfriend committed suicide while they were together. I think he won.

I don't think it is a contest. It's good that you are talking. Maybe someone with his own issues will be more understanding of yours.

There is no competition Jess, my dear. You can't really say which is worse because they all affect each of us differently.

I think talking is a good thing. It may be that the two of you will be able to work your way forward together -- that doesn't mean having to dive head first in a relationship, it could just mean being the rock that helps each other stand and start to move forward
