That sister backstory reminded me of this awesome post I read long ago on Archinect.com. Total classic Archinect stuff.
----
I've not been on Archinect in ages but I know how much everyone likes a good story that's right out of left field.My sister lives in Baltimore and recently started seeing a new boyfriend. In this day and age it seems ridiculous for people to follow through on "taking it slow," but according to her that's what they were doing and were both totally cool with it.
They started dating about 4-5 months ago and she's had so many good things to say about him: he's polite, makes good money, is modest, is into her hobbies, etc. etc. It's odd hearing about my sister's sex life... but she told me early on that after being pretty care-free with guys in her past she really enjoyed that this guy was fine with waiting until it felt like the right time to even stay the night with each other. A little making out here and there but they never spent the night, until recently.
She called me yesterday to tell me all this:
They finally felt like it was the right time to spend the night and take things further this past Saturday. Had a nice afternoon and evening, and well, you can figure out the rest. She said it was nice, caring, mutual, all that. When they were done, though, just as she thought they'd be falling asleep, this guy jumps up and gets dressed - pants, shirt, socks, SHOES - and gets right back into bed IN HIS OWN HOUSE.She was totally confused as to what was going on and asked him if everything was OK just as he was setting a small duffel bag on the floor beside the bed.
Turns out, Mr. Nice Guy has Pyrophobia and additionally is terrified of his house catching fire while he's sleeping. Never thought to mention it. Never thought to tell my sister he has to sleep in his clothes so he can get out quickly if the place goes up in flames. Are you kidding me????
And the duffel bag???? He keeps his wallet, cell phone, some insurance and financial records, and a 500 gig backup drive for his computer filled with an itunes backup and all his vacation photos and other important stuff.
My sister said she just felt horribly out-of-place and caught off guard by everything. She really likes the guy, and when we talked yesterday she just kept wondering if she could be with someone who has that problem.
Is it selfish of her, or just too weird of him? I mean, he did this within five minutes of orgasm (his - as much as I hate repeating it she said he was more than satisfactory for her) as they were holding each other.
What to make of all this? And you're welcome for the laugh - personally I hate that this happened to her with someone who seems really nice. The boyfriend before this guy was a coke addict and the guy before that had "mother issues" Don't even ask! She's been raving about this new guy for months and he turns out to be afraid of fire. Again, am I being too hard or is this a legit thing to have to sleep in clothes like this?
- That's great! Sounds like one of those "Be Prepared" Boy Scout guys. Does he smoke cigarettes in bed?boobs
