Choose me first

He chooses me first.

Every single time.

Is this normal? I'm not used to it, and I don't know how to respond to it. I've literally never experienced this before in any other relationship I've ever been in.

He always chooses me.

I'm a typical girl who does the, "do what you want" thing and secretly gets upset when what you want isn't what I wanted. It's shitty, I know.

However, even in situations where I don't present this ultimatum, when I expect him to choose otherwise and wouldn't even be mad about it, he still chooses me.

His college graduation all his friends showed up. We were all at the bowling alley. Since all his friends were there and had expected to all hang out after, I was going to go home and wait for him after he celebrated with his friends. But he came home with me instead.

Last night he was in Murfreesboro and told me earlier in the day he was going to hang out with his cousin. But he decided not to and came home to me instead.

I didn't tell him not to. I said "okay" when he told me and accepted that he would be home late.

When I tell him he doesn't have to choose me over his friends, his response is always, "I'm domesticated."

He lives with me now, and I couldn't be more excited about it. I've never been excited about living with any other SO.

And domesticated we are.  I've honestly considered marriage, which is something I've never cared about nor wanted. I don't remember a time I was still this excited about someone this far into the relationship. It's only been 9 months, and I know I sound like an infatuated schoolgirl, but, hell, I feel like one too. 🤷

I could talk about other things besides Lane. I could talk about how I'm doing physical therapy for my hand and how that's almost over. I really hope I get a big settlement from all this because ya gurl could reeeeeally use it. I could talk about how badass it is to be a homeowner. I could talk about how I'm finally getting tired of my job and have not-yet-seriously looking for new ones just to see what's out there.

But that all bores me. My relationship makes me happy and surprises me pretty regularly, so I'm going to keep talking about that.
