Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I'm at my parents' house in the Midwest right now. It's been a great trip so far. Ben and my parents get along great. Yesterday we went out on the lake in my parents' pontoon boat, and both Ben and I got to steer. Tonight my parents will be having several friends over for dinner. Ben will no doubt be introduced as my "friend," which is fine.

I'm feeling a lot better about our relationship then when I last wrote. I had a little talk with Ben the other night before we left about the affection thing and my concerns. He said that he is generally rather low on the affection scale, that it has nothing to do with me in particular. At the same time, lately he seems to have been a bit more affectionate than usual, which I greatly appreciate. It's a matter of give and take.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving with good food and good company. I am so thankful for my friends and family, and for my relationship with Ben. I am also thankful for this blog, and for all of my readers and your advice. Thank you all so much! I have grown so much as a person over this last year, and I look forward to the journey ahead!

Sounds like things turned out great. Having Ben introduced as "friend" is a minor inconvenience. It's better that they see how well you interact and how happy you are with him. Having your family and friends warm up to Ben is a subtle way to weave him into your world, so that when the eventual news does break, it should not matter much if they see how wonderful you get along.

Glad you and Ben are doing well and you guys are able to communicate about the things that bother each other.
