Brian’s Birthday.
I came back to Shanghai on January 2nd and Brian came back on January 7th. And the first week back was….well, it wasn’t easy. It was a little bit awkward and a little bit hard and although everything is fine when we wrap our arms around one another and go to bed, there was still some doubt and hesitation and uncertainty.
We planned a date night our first week back and Brian came home and didn’t feel well so we didn’t go out that evening as planned. And the next morning he was feeling emotional and for a day or two it felt like it was all a mistake.
But then something happened or was said or changed because one day, things were OK again. Brian was happy instead of burdened.
So we had a few dinners and played video games and went to work together and had coffee and breakfast. And I made him biscuits and brownies.
And for his birthday, we ate chocolate cake for breakfast and we had a wonderful dinner date to a tempura restaurant. And we both got dressed up. And had a very nice date. And when we got home, he kissed me, held me, and we had sex for the first time since last November when we first got in a fight.
Then he left for business in California.
So I think we’re going to be OK. I’m happy to have him in my life and thrilled that he wants to stay in this as well. He’s the love of my life. And even when I was mad at him, I loved him more than I ever loved anyone.
And I hope this is a good year.
