Guttenberg

My controlling nature has erupted. All over everyone around me. I can’t accept that things can be good even if they aren’t living up to my expected design.

I position my relationship against a pattern of perfection, and even though I don’t live up to that pattern, I continually continue to continuously fail. I forced open the doors of communication with B* and faced imperfection head on. When will I find the man who isn’t afraid to let his guard down…who won’t resent me for expressing myself. When I said that I had the right to do so, he responded that he had the right to be withholding. He’s right.
He claims that I am a confusing part of his life. That we won’t last another two months. That this only works because I’m in far away and that he wouldn’t want a full time girlfriend. He asked me to try treating him the way he wanted to be treated and that he questions us all the time.
My mother told me to stop putting him in uncomfortable and unfair situations. That the more I push the farther he’ll run. She called me out on my control issues. What the hell am I doing all this for anyway? Is the gray, stringy gross nebulous cocoon of our relationship  going to metamorphose  into a butterfly? Idealism. That’s all this is.
