I finally heard from JD on Saturday morning. Apparently, I am simply too complicated for him and demand too much emotional bonding for him to be comfortable. I told him I deserved better and asked when I might pick up the books he borrowed from me.
I refuse to believe that what I ask--love, affection, consideration, and care--are too much to ask in return for the same from me. I told him that I had given him all of myself, had not withheld anything from him and what I offered still wasn't enough for him to feel as though returning some of it might be warranted.
I will find someone who doesn't think I'm too complicated, someone who will be glad to have my love and submission, rather than someone with whom I must feel like a convenient toy. I am worth more and I deserve better than I received for the past five months.
If the title of this blog sounds familiar, it is because it comes from the title of Viola Johnson's book, To Love, to Obey, to Serve. Her order of importance for the life of a servant speaks to me and her influence can be found in much of what I write.
