Reprogramming my head

Diana has a tennis event tonight where she's going to be playing for several hours, and she invited me to come watch for awhile. I wanted to get started on and continue various projects to some degree this weekend, so I figured the alone time would be good for that.

But I couldn't help feeling bad about it. I feel like if I don't do something when it comes to my significant other, I'm failing them in some way. This obviously comes from prior experience in other relationships, and it's hard to un-learn.

More to the point though, there can't be hurt feelings and disappointment if there are clear expectations, and that seems to be something we do pretty well. There isn't a lot of guess work between us. I need to keep that in mind so I can dispense with the unpleasant feelings I needlessly create in situations like these.

I think I have the best girlfriend ever.
