I’ve felt horrible for the way I shut Elaine out after mistakenly believing she was cheating on me. So, to make up for it, I’ve been trying to be super girlfriend.

I no longer am fighting my desire to commit to her. I’m committing fully and completely now, giving her all I’ve got. I’ve slept over at her house most nights, woken up and made breakfast for the two of us, and visited her during my lunch break sometimes.

It’s fantastic, I’m seeing her all the time like I’ve wanted to for a while. But, when we had been just casually dating, it had seemed inappropriate to seek out her company this much. But, now, I can see her whenever I want, and I freaking love it.

She really seems to love it, too. I think even Cody enjoys it quite a bit, because, while Elaine will still be sleeping in bed, I’ll be awake giving him treats and tossing around a tennis ball for his amusement.

We haven’t been official for very long, but, I swear, every day feels like the best one of my life.

It’s funny, because, Elaine is constantly saying how I am so much better than her ex, how their relationship never even compared to ours. And, truthfully, I felt the same way about my ex.

And I had loved that woman. I had been upset for a long, long time after our breakup. I don’t even want to know what it would do to me to lose Elaine because she means so much more to me.

I’m not even sure why, if I’m being honest. We just seem to connect on an emotional level that is unlike anything I ever could imagine. She gets me, you know? Like nobody else ever has. My passions, my interests, my flaws, she sees it all, and she appreciates it all. I’ve never had someone care about me as much as she has.

My parents and family included. Like I said before, they still send me gifts on the holidays and we talk loosely, but they don’t really get me. And, it sounds bad, but I’m not sure they really care about me, either.

I don’t know, I’m sure they do. I mean, I’m their kid, right? They must, but it doesn’t feel that way. It hasn’t since I came out to them. I don’t know, they’re very traditional, so I can see why they pulled away from me after finding out I was gay. I guess I should just be happy they didn’t crucify me afterwards.

I think that’s why I had such a hard time after breaking up with my first girlfriend. I felt extra alone, like I’d lost the only person who had ever cared about me. And I won’t lie, it hurt for a really long time.

But, now, I’m so glad it happened. If it hadn’t, I never would have had the opportunity to be with Elaine. And she is easily the best thing that ever happened to me. All the pain I experienced then now somehow feels worth it.
