Things that take time
I was talking to a friend of mine today about another friend’s aloof-ness over my being with a woman. My friend said, well he’s just trying to reconcile it with what he believes is the right way. I said, but come on, if you love me, than you’d love that I’m happy and that would be enough. He said, you don’t have to preach to me Rachel, I have two sisters who are in long-term relationships with women and have four kids between them – I know it works.
Later I was talking to T about it, and she said, he might just need time.
I hope that is what my friend needs is time, but it kind of pains me when people I love have such a clear cut view of something that they aren’t open to other possibilities existing for other people. And I guess for me the whole point is that I have to allow other people to process in their own time, which always seems so dragged out versus my pace.
