Crazy

I'm adjusting to having a boyfriend all the time now. Like one who comes to family events like this, one who my mom feels comfortable enough to ask to come clean the garage this weekend... But yet, after years and years of dating and disappointments, I feel like I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm waiting for him to just not return a text message, or disappear completely. This is unfair to him that I take out my neurosis on him.... yet, I can't seem to help it. Tonight, he was sweet and wonderful with my family, and kind of shy and quiet too. Which is fine, we've only been dating for 3 months, I'd be worried if he were overly comfortable too. But part of me felt like he was closed off to me tonight, and I started to get upset, which of course led to a weird conversation in the parking lot... I'm glad he came out. He usually plays this game on Tuesdays, and he gave up his group to be with me and my family tonight. Of course, if he hadn't I would've faulted him that I'm sure... Rational me knows I have the best thing I could ever ask for, but there's a part of me that is crazy. Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve him, and other times I feel like I can do better. Which, I can't. Regardless, I do think it's high time I got over these things that have been weighing on me, and I just start enjoying the wonderful and caring person I have to be with. If only it were as easy to do as it is to say.

EDIT NOTES:

"to be with me and my family tonight"

Should be:

"to be with my family and me tonight"

Additionally,

"I would've faulted him that I'm sure"

Should/could be either:

"I would've faulted him for that, I'm sure"

or

"I would've faulted him, that I'm sure of"

I'm going to whoop Logan's butt for that comment! Plus - you are incorrect, Logan. Your last "correction" was ended in a preposition. Work on your own grammar before correcting Er's :-P

Er - I love your boy, but don't ever say that you "can't do better." You KNOW that's not true! I DO know where you're coming from though. I have a lot of the same insecurities. When he doesn't call me back, I think that he's bored of me.

Unfortunately, we can't change our past dating experiences. They've given us both knowledge AND insecurities. We're used to guys being completely interested in us, and then running away without telling us why. Obviously this is going to cause us to be skeptical of ANY guy we date. We just have to get used to someone really loving us - and learn how to squelch our qualms.
