To my fellow blog readers:

I haven't said much about NotGay since we first started dating.
Sure, I've mentioned him, in stories, silly things, but not talked about him.
You haven't heard about how I feel when I look at him in the morning, or what I said to him when I was angry.
Nothing.
Not because I don't trust you guys not to tell anyone.
I know you'd never tell a soul, because you behaved so well when I talked about Matt to you.

There is one big difference between Matt and NotGay that I didn't realize was there, until very recently.

I take NotGay seriously.

Wait, there are more reasons, but I'm not going to talk about them, that reason captures the gist of all the rest of the reasons.
I have changed drastically in the way I handle relationships, and I've found that I'm happier.
I'll leave you with some quotes from my friends:

RHM: "Wow, you really haven't bitched about NG at all. I'm not use to coming over, drinking wine, and not hearing you tell me how much you hate your significant other."

FN: "Hunny, you are Carrie in Sex and the City, You are at the episodes where Carrie dates Aidan... if you fuck this up, I'm going to kill you."

QSW: "Ha, you just got off the phone with SY, and you two talked about NG and I? How long did you give us to last?"
ID: "We didn't take bets on this relationship, both of us hope that it works out."

Even as I type those, I feel like I'm jinxing myself and we will break up tomorrow.

I might not recover as quickly on this relationship.
