Hi everyone-
I made my blog public again, because it's been long enough (I think) that the reasons I locked it down no longer apply.
Things are generally good, but I am crazy as always. I am now almost married (to a guy I got to know during the Rules experiment, but dated after I had dropped the Rules) and have a 7-month old daughter. I am now trying to figure out how not to be a horribly anxious parent.
If you'd like to read my Rules experiment from 2010, feel free. It gets kind of dramatic at the end, after the six-month experiment was over. If I had insisted on continuing with the Rules, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be with the guy I'm with... he's just NEVER going to comply with the stricter ones like calling for Saturday night dates. But if I had applied Rules principles (funny phrase) longer, without being super strict on the exact Rules, I might have ended up in a stable relationship and settled down sooner than I did. Rules principles being, mostly, "don't be all insecure and shit, and don't put up with being treated poorly but also don't create a big production out of it."
Love,
Rulebreaker
