Contentment... I has it.
Not the bad, "I guess things are good enough" kind of contentment... More the warm-fuzzy, everything-is-as-it-should-be-right-now kind of contentment.
Chad is, so far, everything I think I've believed I would have wanted IF I were willing to get into another relationship (a boatload of qualifiers and disclaimers in that statement, I know, but I am fully aware of how jaded I've been in recent times and am not discounting that). I also recognize that we're still in the getting-to-know-you-so-I'm-on-my-super-best-behavior stages, I already know that he is free from some of the negative attributes that I were starting to think were part-and-parcel of any man who would want me. He is available, both situationally and emotionally, so that erases my "only attached men are attracted to me" streak with a side of the "primarily emotionally-distant men want me." He defies the "deadbeat" streak (which was dubbed by my previous subordinates when I was a supervisor), as he has not only a job... and a really good job, but a really good job in a field that I can relate to and is interesting to me. He doesn't have an issue with my having children, and in fact welcomes it--having a rather large family himself and being quite dedicated to them.
I don't know what is coming, but I do know there are some good times ahead.
