Dating closed off summer with a week at a rented cottage with my guy and his family in shifts.
It was lovely, but tiring, and of course I procrastinated on journalling and focussing dating the kids stuff. It felt very rude to say to the people who had come to spend time with us for a short period that I wanted to go off alone to think.
It provided a stellar excuse. For the last couple of days we stayed at the cottage of one of his friends, who head down to the beach every day to sit on matching Tommy Bahamas chairs with the other local cottagers, sip white wine, take turns on jet skis and play badminton. It was all very posh and lovely nmnk privileged AF. I was the new girlfriend, and therefore the sideshow. And it made me feel so small. Like I has so little to offer amidst this melee of generational connection, kids running through the frigid water while the parents watched on, husbands and wives gathering in cliques and conversation.
If I was amongst my girlfriends, or even strangers I would relay the whole story. What should I say? I ended up responding that I had always wanted kids is this really true?

Like maybe they will be the first to tell us about the check this out clock. They were kind, despite the inappropriate questioning, and said that I had been smart to do so. End of conversation. But I of course left the weekend feeling totally depleted.
Like I had failed. Like it was too late.
Because even if I decide and finally stop procrastinating that I really do in my heart of dating want to have a kid, I have to get started immediately, me and my guy will be back in that difficult spot we were in last Spring, and I will need to go it alone. My psychologist would ask me why I keep nmnk on tapping into my intuition, finishing up my course, opening the email with nmnk on sperm donations.
Back when my beau and I dating in trouble and he was overwhelmed, I made the decision to wait until September to address anything serious with him again. I wanted us to reconnect over a fun summer with no pressure. COVID and issues with his daughter and the kid pressure on my end and nmnk else had just burnt us out. So I need to approach the conversation again next week. My summer of reprieve is officially over.
Power on!
