Okay so I realize that I’m jumping all over the place with my blogging habits, but as I’m sure is the case with many of the relationships that we discuss on this site, MONEY and who is responsible for paying for what seems to be one of the primary sources of all evil in my relationship, and I’m curious to know how the rest of you handle it.

So last night I spent a little more time than usual on the laptop, because I was hammering out my last blog about BM and SD's field trip to the pawn shop (nice!), which came complete with a burned out ghetto tour and a complimentary crack rock (I'm KIDDING, obviously), and of course DF was curious to know what I was doing. Now I realize at this point I probably never should have said anything about it, and silly me for thinking DF would be mature enough to be okay with the fact that I had started writing a blog, and that I would prefer if he didn't read it.

As you may have gathered from the little preview I gave you in my first blog entry (DF and I are now engaged, living together, and co-parenting his daughter), we DID end up seeing each other again after that night despite the fact that I had no interest in pursuing a relationship of any kind. We had a really good time the night we met, I had a blast hanging out with him, and I thought he would be a fun person to maybe spend some additional time with in the future – end of expectation.
