Sounds like you have come along way. I am right behind you! It’s a constant struggle, but I am guessing that it is so worth it!

Funny, I blogged once about The Runaway Bride, too. There’s something significant there is learning about who you are and what you want and ensuring your needs are met…

I also agree with Travis (and Pippi) on this one…and it’s funny you mention submissiveness, because I sort of felt that way with boy #9, I let him take the lead on stuff more than taking the lead myself, and I’m not sure why, and maybe it was lack of confidence that I could take the lead and see where it went. I don’t want to do that again, because it should be a two-way street! Compromise. Right.

Nicki, I totally agree with Travis. BUT, if NG isn’t the one, there is another one, BETTER out there! It’s OK for you to call and text him. A relationship should feel easy. If he putts, then his loss.

“Sometimes, it’s good to compromise. It’s more important, however, not to lose sight of who you are.”

Exactly.

And that’s a skill I’ve had to learn as well. Sounds like you are in a good place now. Enjoy it.

Spooky – that “unexamined life” quote simply popped into my head on my morning drive yesterday. I can picture exactly the intersection where I recalled it. And I don’t know how it got there… did I hear it, read it recently? Must have done.

Your thoughts on gentle compromise without losing sight of yourself are sage… a really important concept whether you are dating or married.

Thanks so much for fearlessly sharing your journey.

This is a battle that guys who have it together struggle with. First we have to remind that we are not that guy, and that they were jerks and we are not. second, that we have to comfort more that you are safe in their arms.

Just keep reminding yourself, as you watch his every action, that as long as it’s moving forward (even if you get scared by it) then allow him to help remind you that he is really there to be with you.

Mmm, cheesy scrambled eggs are my favorite to make on Sunday mornings. I used to really, really, really enjoy sunny-side up, but something in my head switched a few years back and now I have to really be in the mood (and not feeling terrified of Salmonella) to eat them that way. Eggs on bagels. Eggs on English muffins. Eggs on biscuits. McDonald’s sausage biscuit with egg (add cheese, please). Brian takes his fried, which are great for sandwiches or with buttered toast. I tried that hole-in-one idea after you posted it, and I giggled at the result because it was so adorable. I’ve really wanted to have little scrambled egg wraps for breakfast. And now that guilty pleasure bowl of peanut butter crunch seems lackluster. And you know that IHOP commercial with the bionic pancakes? Yup, that makes me want to eat a big stack of pancakes every. single. time!

It’s fabulous to get to a place where you can listen to those songs without the water works getting the best of you. Hurray for moving on and being happy. =)

A few quick thoughts, my friend.

1) There’s a corollary to what Socrates said: The unlived life is not worth examining.

Congrats on living your life, Nicki!

2) “Approach life as if it were a banquet.” Don’t fill up on salad! There’s more! So much more!
