Just the way he is

Eight months ago Brandon (no more initials for him, you all know who he is anyway) and I met. What was supposed to be a one nightstand has turned into eight months together. Wow, what a story to tell our kids. How I ended up at the barbeque and then later that night, how he ended up in my bed. I do believe in this day and age men aren't the only ones that are out for just sex. We ended up attached the hip after that. Want to know something I realized last night? Because of how everything has gone with us, we have never been out on a date. We went out all the time, but never had one official date.
Things moved rather quickly for us. By week three he had told me he loved me. We've already had major ups and downs. I've met his family and he's spoken to a majority of mine, even met the ones that live near by. Last week I discussed a job opportunity with him that could have influenced our future. We've talked about kids. We, that's how I think anyway, we. Women are good at that, men not so much.
He snores loader than a freight train. He also moves a lot while sleeping, hitting and kicking me. I'd say he swears like a trucker, but I think he could teach them a thing or two about swearing. He is so very much a redneck (sorry Hun, you are). His feet smell like they've been marinating in the sewer. He is always belching into the phone at me. I know for a fact that he speaks before he thinks 90% of the time. He is extremely jealous and insecure when it comes to me. But he'll flirt with anything that talks back to him. He is very close minded on a lot of things. He hasn't got a romantic bone in his body, but he does try.
Yeah, I whine and complain. Yes, I'm getting crankier by the day and am not happy with the current situation. It's easy when you're upset to see everything that's wrong and forget all the good. Truth be told the good stuff out ways the bad. At the end of every day I know I love him. So I suck it up, and for a while longer, I deal.
