Having fun?

It's chucking it down with rain and I'm bored.

Enjoying 89degrees and AC. I am soooo spoiled.

On your side Fly, how is it possible. I ain't doubting, just curious what is in store.

89 degrees? I can't translate that but I'm sure it's a hell of a lot hotter than than the 8-12 degrees C where I am.

31.6. On the verge of hot.
Wildfires here in Nevada make for incredible sunsets.

Well a liquid is compressed and expanded and when that happens there is a temperature change... Oh, not how is AC possible, but how is loving your best friend possible?

Romantically put: My wife being my best friend and my best friend being my wife is a natural thing.

Realistically, though, my wife is my best friend, but she also annoys the hell out of me. I love her immensely, and yet there are times that I can't figure out why we are together. I can't imagine our relationship being lukewarm. It has highs and lows but it is our effort to continue being a couple during all times that binds us together.

We know a lot about each other, but still find things to explore. We build on our friendship to strengthen our love. We have differences, we have disagreements. We are, after all, two distinct people. We recognize that we each need our space and that we don't force change on the other to suit our own needs.

And we have a son who loves us, who we love, who we annoy the hell out of, and who annoys the hell out of us...

Oh, and what is "in store"? Whatever you two make it. Love isn't a train ride only following tracks. You are the driver. You can turn anywhere.

So, to me the key word there is "first". I can see being best friends with your significant other, but I have problems seeing how it could happen as a transition from best friend to significant other.

I know pretty darn quickly when I'm attracted to someone. The only way I could see becoming best friends without going for a romantic relationship is if the person is taken when you first meet. Other than that I just don't see me going from no spark to love of my life.

There ia a whole S load of possible complications that would normally scare me off. But that indefineable thing really keeps the second guessing at bay.

Like I said before. I'm just happy to have my friend.

ADD: We had times in between where it could have happened. We were never ready together. That whole meet in the middle thing never happend. It was too difficult to risk losing the one person I couldn't lose.

You know how cute you are? I wish you well with the non-spoilerage with Tidbit. I think it would be so awesome to share something like that with your mom.

I can't imagine NOT being best friends with the person I married.

Couldn't possibly agree more. I say it should be mandatory.

Nothin' wrong with lovin' a friend. See below. And you don't necessarily have to trust your feelings; just have them. And, um, deal with them as best you can. See below...

Shit.


(This is below, from above) I am not an advocate of this behavior; I would never suggest anyone do this, but MsQ was married when we met and fell in love. I'm just saying if it's meant to be, it's meant to be. No matter the circumstances. Some things are just undeniable. I don't know if that's your situation, NVG, but if your "friend" needs to be out of her situation regardless of your involvement, I wouldn't torture myself over the right thing to do. If she's not looking to get out, there are things bigger than we as individuals' desires.

89 degrees must runs somewhere in the thirties. 8-12 sounds much more like a prison sentence than a temperature. I'm guessing that must be something like early spring weather rather that first of summer weather though.

8-12 is typical up here in about March.

June we usually get up to about 20 degrees C but that is far too hot. I can only go to about 16 before melting.
