I’ll probably have a new reader now. Below are the events that led to me giving my boyfriend the link to my blog.
My boyfriend’s name is John. We’ve been dating around 14th months now, that’s over a year and a substantial amount of time. Because I chose to go away to college, far far away, we’re currently in a long distance relationship. It has been working. Winter break was a lot of fun, but towards the end, things became strained.
We were doing the same thing a lot, which would leave to lots of things getting boring.
Leaving was hard, but who wouldn’t expect that? Then John was out of the country, so I wasn’t able to talk to him for over a week. It was difficult because we hadn’t left on a good note and then I was left to stew.
I had fun back at school, but I missed him tons. He came back, things felt awkward. We talked, but it wasn’t the same.
Then the argument came. Views were expressed. But really, they were just deeper problems being expressed in ineffective ways.
After that night, there wasn’t much talking. I was withdrawn. I didn’t want to push it. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to keep it up or just end it, but every time I thought about ending it, I just couldn’t.
I lost sleep. I couldn’t think. I couldn’t work. It was awful.
Later on that week, John came home from a night of light drinking and left me a message. I was still up, we talked. Things were more calm, were explained, and problems were figured out.
We realized we were too stuck in our ways. Things weren’t interesting anymore. We had stopped trying to make things fun. We had taken each other for granted.
And he mentioned that he knew I had a blog, and that it has always irritated him that there were things I didn’t tell him. I felt that was the time to offer him the link. I’m glad 
He’s a great guy. I love him tons. And well, I’m happy now…well, happier.

Ha! Luckily, I don’t have to listen to it every second like you. It’s funny how people are absolutely obsessed with that song.
Good luck with the linkage to the John!

I gave my address to (my) John after we broke up! It actually helped us to get back together…and then get married!! It’s scary to think of giving the man in your life total access to your brain but it turns out to be a really great thing.
PS. Hi John!
