We met four years ago. My problem from the beginning of the relationship was the fact that he was an introvert. He didn’t talk a lot. Sometimes I had to ask questions upon questions before he said something. He will call me at dawn and tell me, “Grace I miss you.” The next morning, I will rush through my chores. Cook but not eat. Wash but not wait for it to dry. I will rush to his house and be with him. When the love of your life misses you, you have one job and that job is to rush to his side.
I will sit on the two-seater sofa expecting him to come and sit by my side. He said he missed me. If he did, then he should draw closer to my skin, breath me in, and look at me like I’m the candy the kid craves. But no. He’ll sit in his favorite one-seater, fidget with the TV remote and later move to his phone and read away whiles I’m there wondering what is it that made him say that he misses me. One evening I asked, “Joshua, are you shy of me?” He answered, “Why would you ask that? I’m not shy of you and you know I’m not a shy person.” He said that whiles looking at his phone. I said, “You do a lot of shy stuff for someone who isn’t a shy person. I’m here. Treat me like you see me. Look at me. Talk to me. Let me feel like I exist in this space with you.”
That day he tried. But I could still see traits of inhibition in his character. It was a start so I took it like that.
You can hardly change a man who had used over twenty years to build his character so some of the things I let go. I didn’t dwell on them. I told myself, “That’s how he is. I will take the bad just as I take the good. Talking about good things, he’s really a good fellow. I’ve never dated a man who will give me the last of what he has and go hungry. Joshua was that man. He had his shortcomings. He has his grace. He has his madness. It all came together to make him who he is, We dated for two years before we got married. We had sex three times in..T@p Here To Continue Reading For More Details. .. Share
