I am Jealous of ....

Had dinner with Sarah on Thursday. Discovered a few days later that I am very jealous. Not of her boyfriend, Rooster, well, okay, a bit, but rather of her situation. Like all ungracious people, I chided her for having a long distance relationship but then I realized that what she has is perfect, and I want it. No fuss. No coming over when you are really tired. No hot and heavy detail oriented I am in every facet of your life relationship. Just some good old fashioned sex - and a vacation! every other week! Because someone is always traveling so you do those things you would never do if you both lived in the same city.

Not to mention you can easily ignore their faults, which you never see, you can dream about seeing them, which you rarely do, you have someone to talk to every couple of days, and can, as Sarah said, genuinely look forward to seeing them. Plus who wants sex every day with someone you barely know? Every other week keeps the fling aspect going, the sex vacation aspect of it going. You can mythify and deify. You will be oh so much more tolerant.

So yes, I am jealous. I want my out of town relationship! Sarah!
