My New Year’s Resolution Was to Stop Cheating – ryan

See, when I was cheating, I didn’t notice a lot of things about Bob. Faithful me, however, sees everything—the good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful, and that’s something that I’m still getting used to. Like, guys, no one talks about this, but it’s kinda hard going from being single, answering to no one and doing li-ter-ally whatever you want to being in a relationship, having rules and accepting the person for who they are, flaws and all. And while I wouldn’t change the timeline—or my past actions, as bad as they sound—because that’s what brought us to this point, I am happily keeping up my New Year’s resolution. Life will never be perfect. Bob will never be perfect. And our relationship will never be perfect. However, instead of being impulsive, trying to gain control and acting on it like I used to, I remind myself how far Bob and I have come and how far we could go.

Because if there’s anything I’ve learned from being in this relationship, it’s that things take time. So, while I wish my boyfriend could last for more than five minutes in bed ASAP, I’m confident that he’ll meet my sex-pectations eventually with my highly encouraging yet low-pressure push. Heck, I’ve already begun the process and have seen a major improvement in the bedroom this week, so no way am I cheating!
