Crystal ponders a few things - she wonders about life.

Crystal thinks
Some people claim that female brain structure leads to better thinking abilities. Citing such things as the femle brain has 20% more grey matter than male.
They state that the female's brain neurons are closer together. But that her brain is in a smaller cranium than the male.
This is supposed to make it more complicated.
I don't know how true this is but I do know I seem to think more about life than Jim. This disturbs me a little.
Thoughts of Christmas are starting to churn themselves out. This is my first Christmas with a boyfriend and that makes me feel really pleased but my mind turns towards the future.
Jim and I had a great weekend, we always do, but life is much deeper than just enjoying oneself.
My parents will be having a full on dinner in the middle of the day and tea for anyone who is around later, leaving others with other commitments to float off elsewhere.
Jim was really happy that I asked him to join us and then there was this nagging thought at the back of my mind about Jim's family. I knew he had three brothers, all older, but very little else.
When I asked him about his family he tended to go a bit mute.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, next weekend he's going to take me to see his town house and he said he'd ask his mother about Christmas tea. He said they were not used to large gatherings and his mother was not the best hostess.
All his brothers had dinner with their own or their wive's families and sometimes they would have his mum along, depending how she was feeling.
Apparently his dad had shot through just before his own birth, leaving his mum quite desperate. Since then she no longer seemed to have much energy and that hadn't changed since they'd all left home although her burdens had eased.
She'd managed to hang onto their house but it had fallen into disrepair and she didn't take much pride in it.
This all came as a big shock.
So now I'm thinking more seriously about the future.
I don't know how others feel, but I really would like to know. Some say don't think just feel but that to me seems disastrous.
What do you feel about these things?

The others commenting are quite correct, savor the moments and celebrate the differences and grow from them. Don't fret yourself out of a relationship when it hasn't really 'jelled' as yet. Raven

Michaelie, I agree about differences, but sometimes the divide can be too wide, there are children to think about here, not just me.
Raven, what you say sounds nice, but the reality is life is not always nice, I think anyone in their right mind likes to think about things as serious as marriage, maybe you are NOW special, not everyone is. I’m giving both Jim and myself a chance, if it’s not going to work the sooner we decide that the better, before the hearts ( and loins) take over.
Holly, that is certainly sound advice, from one who tried it the other way,
Louie, the less you think the less you realize what you don’t know QED what you said, no way to go.
Thanks everyone for some wonderful replies and Raven really is a special kind of man, but he may not have been first times around.
I did appreciate hearing your views which have not fallen on completely deaf ears.
