Swimming against the current - PH in piecing

Hi Sam

Hope you had a good vacation. I'm on my way over to your thread when I'm done here.

I totally see what you're getting at about the planning. And actually I felt like I was overplanning when looking at the calendar for the rest of the summer. I think it got a little out of hand - all I really wanted was one date night a week and somehow that morphed into the weekend. Will talk with BF and get it back to just one date night a week and see what happens with the weekends. Most likely I'll end up planning something every weekend for now because there's just so much going on in the summer.

It was a pretty busy week, the first with a full schedule. We have activities planned Mon-Thur, weather permitting. Interesting evening Wed. There's a guy on the kickball team who is interested in me. He's the one from a couple weeks ago when I mentioned that I saw an opportunity to date someone else. He ended up sitting with me at the bar after the game while BF went to the other side of the bar to play pool with other guys. I know I should have just stood up and walked over to BF, but he was drunk and not caring at all that another man was keeping me company.

It does bother me that BF doesn't have even the slightest twinge of jealousy. In my mind it signals that he is either so confident that I am completely trustworthy or that he doesn't care enough to be jealous. I'm not looking for him to be possessive or not trust me, but isn't everyone just a little jealous when a new person of the opposite sex enters your partner's life? And BF does not know that the guy from last week is the same guy who tried to kiss me a while back (I did tell him about the incident, I just didn't give specifics). I hinted at it yesterday, telling him there was a guy hitting on me while I was waiting for him at the ballpark. Told him that he shouldn't leave me alone for long periods of time because other men do tend to swoop in. It was said with a smile and jokingly but I hope he understands that I do like to know that he cares enough to protect me from unwanted advances. If it continues to happen and bother me then I'll bring it up in a serious conversation.

Other than that we spent the whole weekend together doing mostly fun things but a couple chores were thrown in. BF is out of town on business for the next few days so I'll have some time to myself again.
