\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

So I began to really look at “why” I’m feeling neglected.\u00a0\u00a0 Because I’d rather fix a problem than dwell on it.\u00a0 Being sulky and pouting at Sex God isn’t fair to him.\u00a0 Its not HIS fault he got a promotion and might be working more.\u00a0 Its not HIS fault my weekends and his haven’t meshed together in weeks.\u00a0 Its not HIS fault that I’ve had too much “Mommy Heather” and waaaay not enough “Sexy Heather” time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

THAT was what I concluded after my introspection.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Its natural for a woman to try and solve these types of feelings by soliciting more attention from whatever and whoever usually fulfills them.\u00a0\u00a0 And most women get sulky and pout to let that source know they need attention.\u00a0 I’m no exception in that regard.\u00a0 But I am an exception when I realize that I’m expecting another person to make me happy it irks me BIG time!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think its always been a part of me.\u00a0 And its probably one of the reasons my marriage didn’t work.\u00a0 I tend to fix my own problems, acquire my own desires, fulfill my own needs.\u00a0 Its also one of the reasons I make such a GOOD lover, girlfriend, friend with benefits.\u00a0\u00a0 If I need something from a man I’ll tell him.\u00a0\u00a0 Conversely, if I’m not getting what I need from a man (or situation or life or my kids, etc.) I’ll do what I think I need to do to fix it or acquire it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I adore spending time with my Sex God.\u00a0 But we ARE over an hour drive apart.\u00a0 I’ve told him if he wants me to be exclusive he’d have to take up the slack of all other affection giving men.\u00a0 And he hasn’t asked for that.\u00a0 But I began to give it to him anyway and expecting more emotionally. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Tsk, tsk, on me. <\/strong><\/p>\n

But don’t worry too much.\u00a0 I can fix it. \ud83d\ude42
