How much 'together time' is too much when you start a new romance? I have noted that my Opie and I have been spending time together, ranging from 2 hours to more than a day, every single day for about the last 2 1/2 weeks. Well, that is EXCEPT for tonight. *Oyyyyy vey* I think I'm having romance withdrawls and wondering if there is something dreadfully wrong with my maturity level if I cannot go one single day without seeing this man. I am suffering from withdrawls, truly *how 16 of me, aye?...LOL* Sure, we have texted back and forth about 20 times and spoke on the phone a couples times....but it's not the same as REAL LIFE!
In my defense, I have gone a long time without experiencing any deep connection with a person of the opposite sex and being a woman of more than *shall we say* 30 *lets not even get into age blasting*....isn't it ok to enjoy being with Opie as much as I (we) want? After all, isn't that exactly what we *uh hum* middle aged woman want - a relationship that would probably include seeing each other on a daily basis? That is the goal, right?
I honestly don't know if spending so much time together is healthy or needy at this point in our nearly 3 month old relationship, but I do know that being in his space (and he in mine) makes me feel super happy and strangely calm *even my kids have noticed that last part*. That is pretty rare for me. In the world of 'singledom' there aren't too many folks I know who have perfected the art of being independent and alone as I have. Being on my own; doing things solo; having a sense of self aren't things I struggle with. Actually, sharing my time with another person on any kind of regular basis is.
In essence Opie is helping to cure to my isolation problem. Viola'....self therapy at work folks :)
*ok, kind of a stretch, but I'm going with that*
