It was 2006 when the CPA and I began using the “M” word. We had been dating for a while and I was perfectly content with continuing with that status. We were exclusive, we were happy, and we were getting to that point. You know the point, the one where you either take the next step or move on. I believe guys call it “fish or cut bait.” (Never being a fisherman, I’ve never quite understood the saying myself.) Well that’s where we were so we began having the talks.
Believe it or not, I was okay with it. Having been close to this point in other relationships had somewhat prepared me. It had also scared me though, truth be told. I had a habit of running the other direction. In fact, several times while the CPA and I were dating, I tried to get him to break up with me. I even tried breaking up with him even though I didn’t really want to. It’s hard to explain, partly because I don’t understand it myself. Suffice it to say, I was scared and was pushing him away.
But, the CPA being the man he is, he just waited. He didn’t go anywhere, and he waited. He’s the first person I’ve ever dated who’s done that. I realized he was worth keeping. I also realized it was the end of my dating days.
