RE: What A Single Woman Does For Valentine's Day!

in #life7 years ago

I was a little curious, reading about how tightly you managed your schedule the other day, whether there was any way you had time to manage a relationship.

Not being creepy, I promise. Genuinely curious! My wife and I have been married long enough (21 years) that we've gotten good at keeping out of each others' way so we can attend to our own projects, and still support each other when we need to. (I help clean and do landscaping on our AirBnBs in the summer, for example, but they're primarily her thing.) And when she wants to jet off to England for several months I don't mind as it gives us the space we need to pursue our goals as individuals.

It sounds like you're in a really productive place right now. And I've always found that the best relationships start when you're comfortably doing your own thing -- not when your only project is going out looking for a partner.

I kind of can manage a relationship. But barley lol.
I have to have a lot of time to manage all of my work. So usually dates are like once a week. And sometimes I work while on dates, Which is probably kind of bad sometimes. But I do my best to keep up with everything.

I love that the two of you are like that! I really like the relationships that give a lot of freedom for other projects!
I hope you are right about that one :) I certainly don't have time for any bad relationships.

Good relationships take time. Bad relationships just devour it!

Working during a date, huh? Either that's going to make you seem mysterious and super-important (which you are, of course!) or just kind of stuck up. I bet it's a hard line to walk!
