We'll both know if its a crying session this weekend, eh? I don't want or expect that.
My IC said that you can't just sweep the past under the rug, but it needs to be dealt with after communication & the R is strong enough to handle them, one at a time. So I'm not going to go with that in mind. Lotus said non-confrontational, that's what I thought when signing up.
Open mind...
Being a man is our nature. Understanding our partner is the work we have to do so 'manning up' doesn't mean living alone. I set some boundaries, and I'm sticking to most of them, but not all of them.
This weekend though, I'm trying to go in like it is a date with an awesome women I just married. Ignore the baggage and be willing to share anything on any topic, but with a bit of self-control on how I say it. The memories of the weekend might get me through the next challenges ahead to get closer.
What will she get? She can only get what she wants too. Why worry about that?
