Settling In
I'm prone to write about my personal life a lot more when I actually seem to have one, go figure. Anyway, I'm currently dating a 31 year old Divorcee who has two small children and is going to school. When we started dating his children were visiting their grandparents in Hawaii and were gone for 4 months (his ex-wife's decision, and a truly bad one from my perspective), plus he had a pretty easy semester. So, we saw each other nearly every weekend and talked on the phone for hours every night.
This semester things are going to change drastically. His kids are now back from Hawaii so he has them every other weekend, and originally he was okay with me being down there while he had them... but, I think, since his son (who's two) has been acting out a lot more he's less comfortable about introducing a new person into their lives. So I'm content with the fact that I might only get to see him every other weekend. But on top of all the family stuff, he's taking an 18 hour semester. He has three science classes and each has a 2.5 hour lab plus he's taking the Human Sexuality class which is apparently an extremely difficult Psych class. His first day was Wednesday and he already had a load of reading to do, two quizzes, and less than no time to really talk to me. We're squeezing in phone calls whenever we can instead of our usual 8 or 9pm three hour calls, he'll have way more homework that he has to get done on the weekends and we're tacking this on to the kids every other weekend.
My love life just got a LOT more difficult. I'm going to hang in there, it's only the beginning of the semester and I can already feel the strain (I'm sure that's a bad sign), but I really think I found a fantastic guy this time and I'm willing to have a limited time relationship with him so that he can deal with his important stuff first. It's hard coming in third in someones life but we've all got to learn Patience at some point in our lives and apparently now is my biggest lesson ever. So here I go, settling in for a long 5 months.
