"that's how things are when you are dating a woman with children....."

she told me this earlier on the phone....after i told her i had been feeling neglected....only seeing her once this week....and not having any alone time since the 5th of this month....

i told her all it would take if she sent me a text in the middle of the day telling me that she missed me or....the few times we do talk...it would be nice if she told me some sweet things.....not just all of the shit that happened to her that day..of course i always ask her how the day went.....but it would be nice if she told me something sweet for me....something small for my ear...which would take all of three minutes.......three minutes a week...and a text maybe twice a week....

i told her that i never expect to be number one on her list or even two or three...i just would like to be number four every once in a while...

she told me she didn't want to talk about it anymore....after many fat pauses i asked what she wanted to talk about...she said she was grumpy....i asked her if she wanted to talk about why she was grumpy...that is when she told me about dating a woman with kids....and she told me she felt that this was constant, this nagging..and i told her yes..it felt as though i were constantly being neglected...and i told her that i needed to tell her because if i held it in then things would go bad or we would not be together.....she said she didn't want to talk about it...so i said goodbye and she said goodbye...
