Holy Fast Batman! Part 2

His procrastinating ears must have been burning...
If you missed Part 1, go check that out first.

Fauve Anniversary Blog - Part 2

Madison asked:
What was your opinion of paperweight the very first time you met him?
What is your favorite meal that Fauve makes you or you make her?
Does Fauve have any quirks that just annoy the hell out of you?

I was scared to meet him initially – not because the "I'm banging your ex-wife" awkwardness – but I had heard stories or rather, hints of stories (the relationship was very young at this point), about him being abusive to Fauve. So what's preventing him from being threatening to someone who is banging his ex-wife? If he did he take a swing at me, I'd have to rely on adrenaline to jumpstart the retard strength.
With not having heard not many good things about this man, my expectations were relatively low. So he had no problem meeting them. He ended up being a pleasant enough chap and has been surprisingly supportive of Fauve and I's relationship. But every time I see him, I think about him physically and emotionally abusing Fauve and – well – I want to shove a fork in his fucking skull.
This sounds really fucking lame, but my favorite meal is anything she puts her hands on as long as it doesn't contain cheese, mayo or cheese. I love this woman very, very much.
Again – I am so in love with Fauve that, at least at this point ;), any quirks she does have don't annoy me at all – they're all very endearing and I find them to be another part of her awesomeness. This will, however, not preclude me from poking fun at them. Here's a couple:
*During the night, she will routinely take over the bed, ultimately leaving me about 6inches of space between her and the edge of the bed for me to nest comfortably.

*She is relatively firm in her desire to sleep on the right side of any bed.

*She refuses to give me permission to take pictures of her while she is sleeping

*When you call her at work, she answers the phone with her name in the sultriest, Up Late at Night? Call a Hot Girl Right Now! kind of voice I've ever heard (and she doesn't have caller ID, so I know its not exclusively for my benefit)

Arwen says:
Dearest Thingy,
Muahahahahaahahaha! Oh, the questions I could ask. But, I love our fauvie and so I won't embarass her here (in person is an entirely different situation). What I will ask is this: When are you buying a mattress? Hmmmmm?

On my list of priorities, the mattress isn't even on the radar at this point. I guess I'll have to wait until her next paycheck.

Fauve here again...by "her" he means Arwen. I think Thing & I may have finally reached an agreement in the Great Mattress Debate. [evil laughter]

Kelly asked:
If you could pick any nickname for yourself(and that nickname would be how you are referred to in this blog from now on), what would it be, and why?
Further, what nickname would you give our fauvie? Why?
Tell us something that surprised you the most about fauve.
And finally, do you ever get just a little tempted to see the blog?

I think Mr. Fantastic is a bit too formal – so maybe she could just call me Reed or Mr. Richards. Why? Because that's how I fucking feel ever since I met her.

My nickname for her would be sweetheart – just like in "real life"

I was most surprised by how calmly she engages with her children when they are being a pain in this ass or – well – like children. My own experience growing up was much louder and more aggressive and verbally assertive. So I wasn't used to watching a parent not being so condescending and talking to her kids in realistic terms. It's amazing. She's amazing.

I'm not tempted to read the blog at all. Mostly because I recognize it as her own. I wake up each day assuming that if there's something on her mind and she needs to talk or wants input from me – she'll bring it up. If she wants to have another avenue to vent or solicit opinions regarding something going on in her life – even things she wants to hide from me – I need to embrace her desire to do that. I want her to keep this blog as her very own. Plus, you guys were here first :)
The only thing I get shafted on is that, because she has forwarded me snippets of her posts in the past, I know she's a truly gifted writer. And I'd love to laugh as much as you guys probably do at her posts.

She truly is a gifted writer. We're fortunate that she continues to 'vent' here, so we can enjoy it.

Fauve if you could pass this on

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You sound like Mr Fantastic

and if I could just take a minute to tell you your giving us "not so attentive or thoughtful or considerate" Men a bad name ok we aren't as bad as paperweight but god damn the closest you got to bein an ass was the not in the mood jerk off weekend when I thought Fauve might jus be slightlty annoyed but I think its probably more because you guys hadn't had your discuss it like adults make out like teenagers sort out of the whole situation.

anywho your ace keep it up you bastard

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Thanks fauve

I believe he will not purchase a mattress now just because I want him to do just that. He's a punk like that.

It's a shame you don't read her site that often. I use my blog as an open dialogue with the world as well as a backhanded way to hint to my husband when things are out-of-whack. He doesn't ever talk about things I post online, but I know he reads them.

Thanks for the insight. I can see why fauve likes you: funny and ready to kick ex-hub's ass when needed.

As much as I like to read fauve's posts, you are a pretty good writer as well.
Maybe she will let you guest occassionally. Or get your own blogspot.
I can really identify with the 'you just know' comment. That is how it was with my wife those many years ago.
Anyway, best of luck to the both of you for years going forward.
