I would want to be involved with someone who cared about my family. Who wanted to be a part of that. He doesn't. Very definitively.

[momstheword]

Ah, well it seems that's important to you, and I'm not surprised.

[protective_logic]

I want a family of my own in the future. Kids to help raise. Adopted, of course. Or fostered if I'm set up enough. And he isn't the sort of man for that.

[momstheword]

What's your situation with him like at the moment?

[protective_logic]

I think the proper term is 'friends with benefits.'

[momstheword]

Ah, I see. A close friend?

[protective_logic]

How does one define it?

[momstheword]

However you like.

[protective_logic]

We are close. Very close. Good friends.

[momstheword]

And you don't want to be anything more?

[protective_logic]

I want a lot more. That doesn't mean more is reasonable.

[momstheword]

You seem to think it wouldn't work with this man in the long run though?

[protective_logic]

He isn't family. Wouldn't be.

[momstheword]

So what do you want to do?

[protective_logic]

I want an adult who won't turn this into a shaming to remind me that dating someone is foolish when you want long term and they don't.

[momstheword]

Who's been doing that?

[protective_logic]

Not part of the conversation, Lorna.

[momstheword]

Well it is, but clearly not a part you want to talk about, so moving on. Whoever that person is, they're wrong to say that to you.

[protective_logic]

We're not talking about that. We're talking about this guy.

[momstheword]

Go on about this guy then.

[protective_logic]

I like him and it is beyond problematic. He can be worse than Meg at times.

[momstheword]

Who is Meg? And in what way is this man worse than him?

[protective_logic]

Meg. Omega. We like nicknames. A lot.

And he's... Difficult to make understand simple things like affection.

[momstheword]

Ah, your brother.

I see. That does sound like a problem in terms of a relationship.

[protective_logic]

Exactly. And I want a family one day, with or without a partner. And I don't think he'd ever care for it.
