Weathering the Storm

You played hard to get, you made him work for it, that's for sure, and he was more patient about it than most people would be.  He gave you way too much leeway if you ask me, and you did.  

But just as everything seems to fall into place, just as the festivities are planned and ready to proceed, there will be a wrench thrown into the middle of everything, a wrench made up of harmful, notorious words -- this means a shocking revelation; this could mean insults; this could mean that he does have a limit and you have pushed him to it.  

There is also the possibility that a third party is going to step forward, a third party that is looking out for him, and they're going to say to him, "What the hell do you think you're doing?"   And, gawds forbid, they're going to encourage him to stand up for himself; they'll encourage him to stop giving in to your every whim; they'll enourage him to rock the boat and not lose himself in a manipulative relationship.

A storm will follow, yes indeed, it certainly will, because this will all be a new experience for you, someone actually telling you "no".  Tantrums will no longer work, though they obviously did when you were a child, but those days are over.  You are going to have to weather the storm, lick your wounds, and hopefully come away wiser, with some of Life's Lessons to help you in the future.

It's what you're going to lose now, within this present scenario, which is the sad part. But you're so sure of yourself, so egotistical, so self-centered, you don't realize it yet...

Quite frankly, don't get so cocky so fast, you might have won the battle, as they say, but you have lost the war.  You don't think he'll ever leave, you don't think he has the courage to walk away, you think you can rule with an iron fist and he will never leave you.  This has always been your armor, your weapon, your certainty.

You would be wrong.
