CG and I had an amazing weekend. There were a couple of blips, but I think we handled them well.
CG picked me up on Friday evening to go over to Fort Flagler to play laser tag. As soon as I got into the car, his brother called and they spent a good 15-20 minutes on the phone. This kind of ticked me off because it had been a few days since we'd seen each other and we were on our way to pick up another friend, so this was the only chance we'd have to catch up for a few hours. However, I didn't want to be the bitchy girlfriend, so I was trying to cover up my annoyance. I am piss-poor at covering up feelings, so of course CG knew.
In a typical relationship, I wouldn't want to tell him that I was upset because I didn't think it was reasonable of me, but I would still be upset, so the guy would just end up having to guess and try to work it out of me. This would go on for a while and possibly start a fight. The antidote to my annoyance is usually just to be heard, and then it dissipates. I just want to get it out, and then I'm fine. It's getting to where I feel ok letting it out that's the problem.
This is why CG is so amazing. After asking me if I was mad a couple of times, and having me refuse, he said, "You're upset that I was on the phone with my brother right after I picked you up, but you don't think you're justified in being upset, so you're trying to hide it and not be upset." He just summed up everything that I was feeling so perfectly that it made me laugh and it was all better. I also loved that he picked up on the fact that it was the timing, not that he was talking to his brother. It's so great that CG knows me that well. All I needed were my feelings to be acknowledged (justified or not) and then I was fine. It's when I try to hold things in that hell breaks loose.
The rest of the weekend was great. We stayed in a hotel overnight, and then played laser tag all Saturday afternoon. There was a potential meltdown at the end when I was tired and hungry and wanted to leave, but I held it together. Saturday evening we came back to town just in time for a Rocky Votolato show. CG stayed over that night, and then on Sunday we went over to his place. I studied while he cleaned the garage. Sunday evening we had Japanese food for dinner and saw The Town. He didn't leave until 2am on Sunday night (early Monday). We had spent 56 hours straight together and I didn't want him to leave! I can't get over how much I enjoy having him around all the time. Things just keep getting better and better.
