so... we finally had the talk. round one didn't go so well. and not in the we fought about it not so well... but in the didn't go so well in the nope we aren't going to live together sense. since i couldn't understand how he could flip-flop so quickly i kept asking questions. apparently that isn't the way to actually get information. so i tried another tactic... i went the quiet route. i waited... i held off with my wise comments and snarkiness... and strange, he was willing to discuss it further. i don't want to seem pushy about this, but it keeps coming up in round about ways and i think it needs to just needed to be discussed.

the bottom line? he wants to live with me... but isn't sure he is ready to move into a place (bridge street) that if something goes wrong he has to go. i get this... i don't blame him. this is clearly my house... not his. and although i would never send him packing without a place to live, i understand that concern.

he made two suggestions... 1. i move into high street or 2. we have someone else move into bridge street with us. the down side to high street is we loose laundry, off street parking, backyard and the ability to have a dog. oh and it would be like $50 more a month for me. moving someone else in here... the down side is having someone else here. so we will see. as long as we are both on the same page that we want to be together, i guess that is what matters.

it will be interesting what happens next. i gave him a time line for when i needed to know and when if we weren't going to move in together when I would need a roommate by...

rowed today instead of going for a run... my arms HURT!
