In with the New

I'm not expert on new relationships.  i'm 25, and was with the same girl since i was 18.  after that long, you get comfortable.  when you fight, you know you'll work it out, you know you will get past it, you'll make up and move on, or pretend it never happened (which was what happened all too often in the relationship i just got out of).  I'm in a new relationship right now, and last night, we had what i would consider our first "real" fight.  i say real because, of course, we've had a lot of spats, like you do in with new people, but this was the kind that goes late into the night, and keeps you up all night tossing and turning.  it was different, and for the first time in ages, i didn't know that everything was going to be ok, i didn't know that i could make it all better or what to do for her.  we are both so stubborn, it was partly my fault that it started but wasn't about one thing.  as soon as we started to work one thing out, something else would come up and i started to feel more and more hopeless.  

this may sound weird, but this is one of the best things that has happened to us.  i woke up with a determination to make things better, to make her happier, to try harder.  and so has she.  we talked, we apologized... we  COMMUNICATED WITH WORDS!!!!   we resolved it like adults and it felt great.  and she has something special planned for tonight, i can't wait... i'll finish updating the rest tomorrow and tell you how it went.
