On being a girlfriend...

bloodsong1Had an interesting conversation with SNB regarding relationships. I got the distinct impression he hasn't had one last more then six months and as such, he's skeptical of us, despite the obvious love.
Maybe I'm naive, but I've been a wife twice, a girlfriend twice, and a romantic interest with or without sex...well, I'd say twice, but an argument could be made for three times, all before him. All of those are in the 6-18 month range, with Wolf being the "stayer" of 7 years. I can kind-of tell when things are going south, y'know?
So, no, I don't know EXACTLY how a girlfriend acts or behaves. All I can do is be myself and show that what we have will last longer then six months and, if the gods are kind, a hell of a lot longer then seven years. We've already discussed the killswitches, as it were, and he's let slip a few things that made me go "Hmmmm" and vice versa. (My favorite quote of his; "How is it that you have the fashion sense of a woman AND a man balanced so well inside you?!" I have since agreed to wear skirts for HIS formal occasions and he will deal with me wearing a nice pantsuit on MY occasions, especially if it's cold, but I still haven't talked him into the Man in Black/Inigo Montoya Halloween costumes, which I think we'd totally ROCK)
Frankly, I'm a little surprised he's still here.
*shrug*
What will be, will be.
