What to do...

[Lindsey]

Hey everyone. I thought last night was going to be IT. He was very blunt in his emails and said he wants to talk about it in person, so he called me after work and we decided to go for supper. So we went to the restaurant and were sitting out on the patio all alone and he asked what I wanted to talk about. I basically said, I like him, and I would like the relationship to work out, but it's absolutely not going to if he keeps being so stubborn. I'm not going to do whatever he wants me to do, and if that's how he thinks, I'm not gonna stick around. I said the only thing we fight about is Layla, and if he's not willing to just let that go and COMPROMISE with me, it won't work because Layla's always going to be there. He said he would try.
We went for a walk down by the river for a couple of hours and were both happy. When we got home and Layla came into my room I asked him if he wanted me to put her out and he said "No, don't worry about it" When she jumped on the bed he petted her. This morning when she noticed we were awake she ran and jumped on my bed... but she jumped right onto my pillow. He looked at me with a raised eyebrow but didn't say a word, and I told her no, and lifted her off.
I am happy and a little surprised that he actually is making an effort now. I don't know how long it's going to last. I hope my talk with him gave him a little insight into how serious this is to me.
And if things go back to the way they were before, he had his chance. It will be done.

P.S. Judy - I think I'll have to get the tattoo I designed, and then let enough time go by to forget how much it hurts, and THEN maybe get another
