Naej, The other option is that her strong need for privacy may have little or nothing to do with me. I'll need to work on being less reactive, and try to understand where she's coming from.
I do know that if we're going to have a party at our home, then I expect to present as a couple, and not downplay it, or have to hide our M/R from others. I don't think this is a reasonable request.
On the other hand, I think it's a good sign that she wants to have a party. At some point, it may be a good idea. I'd like to be more comfortable in public as a couple first. We've made progress as partners in dance class.
