MUSINGS TO MY SON

I think you can pretty well know by now that Wendy is just not 'that into you".   There's a book titled 'She's Just Not That Into You"....I think...also a movie.  Or maybe it's "He's just not.....etc."    Happens to all of us at one time or another. 

You have a tendency to do what you want to do when you want to do it regardless of anybody else, something all you High boys seem to share.  That doesn't go over well with someone who might want a closer, more meaningful relationship over the long run. Compromise is the ultimate gift.   A woman needs to know she's #1 in all things in your life, and she needs to know that you're there for her most of the time whether she acts like she is or not.   Perhaps you pick close relationships a little too quickly based on sexual attraction,  when you need to stand back and evaluate what is going on and how to make a relationship really work sans sex (or the attraction thereof).  Because, Craig, that day is coming!  :-)  You have to be good friends first.  You have to like the same things and have the same rhythm/timing and be able to give to that person when you don't really want to.   A partnership is just that.  It's a two way street, and it's difficult.  Even the best relationships have their downside, but you're courting another disaster.  I tried to tell Eric that, and he won't listen, so I hope you do.  "But we love each other!"  Phooey.  All that means is "But we're good in bed together!"   That doesn't weigh in after a year or two.  And after many years, that's gone.  You gotta have something going on besides that.  And I'm not just talking to you....I'm also talking to the female you choose.    You need a small town girl who thinks you hung the moon and is committed to a marriage.  Lord knows, I don't want you to be single the rest of  your life.  It's not good for you. 

I'll shut up now!   :-)  I love you....Momma
