I can't keep this blog from him. But I am not ready to tell him I've been talking about our relationship (albeit, anonymously). So, it logically follows, that the only course of action I take be to say goodbye to this blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not sure I can totally stop blogging, but this blog was started as a vent. I wanted it to be about single people and how it was cool and I was proud of my long time single status. For so long, it defined who I was, and I was really, truly happy. This past year has been about trying to integrate my strong single mentalities into a relationship with the man that I love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't simply start blogging about other things. If I do continue with blogging, I want MB to be able to read it. I am not hiding anything I have written about our relationship. The things I have posted are things him and I have discussed. I guess it feels likes I am holding out on him. And I strongly believe that there can be no secrets in a healthy relationship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should have done this a long time ago. But it was that single-minded mentality, that &lt;em&gt;need&lt;/em&gt; to keep away part of my self as a form of self preservation that did not allow me to do that. Bloody defence mechanisms. This past month, I have done much deep soul searching and decided I need to let go completely. And so it has to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, with more emotion than I can convey in mere typed words, Goodbye and Goodluck. I'll miss you.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19582881-114581536306798479?l=seriallysingle.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://seriallysingle.blogspot.com/feeds/114581536306798479/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=19582881&amp;postID=114581536306798479' title='24 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19582881/posts/default/114581536306798479'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/19582881/posts/default/114581536306798479'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://seriallysingle.blogspot.com/2006/05/after-some-good-long-deep-and-much.html' title=''/><author><name>serially single</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08554885591660632109</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a64/seriallysingle/greencryingeye.jpg'/></author><thr:total>24</thr:total></entry></feed>
