Aud, Matilda, Jak, Doc, My W is joining me for dinner with my family this year. They are in town. Usually I travel out of town with my dog to my hometown. I can't remember the last time my family has seen my W. I think it was several years ago, maybe longer than that.
I'm nervous about it, yet happy to have her join me. I'm worried that my W may accidently reveal aspects of our marital problems. I want our problems to stay private.
I can't control everything, including people's opinions and judgments of my W and marriage. If someone tries to engage me in a conversation about topics I consider private, than I can choose not to participate.
I'll have to let the evening play itself out. Family relationships are secondary. What's most important is the progress my W and I are making.
