Well, let's see.

My uncle died. I could have used his support. Nope. Now, mind you, this is the man that stood up and gave me away at our wedding. He was nearly as close to me as my own dad but Gabe couldn't be at the funeral because that involved my whole family and he can't face them. I decided to put that away and not let it eat at me though.

Gabe knew my family pretty well before we married. He knew exactly how close we all were and how there are no secrets. We're all supportive of each other and will defend each other to the bitter end. I have a feeling it's the defending each other he's afraid of. He knows that they are not hostile people, but Gabe can take physical hostility better than verbal and non-verbal.

Like you said though, there is no clear direction between us so I don't expect him to join in, I just hope that sometime soon, he will.
