As for my GF, she knows the story from start to end. I've even let her read my posts. I have been very open and honest with her
Tad, it is good to see you are feeling better these days. I am a little concerened about the age difference, if I am honest, especially as your gf is so close to your son's age. But that is your business. What does concern me more is what you wrote above. Words have a way of revealing our thought processes, and I wonder if you are sometimes a little controlling? Maybe 'let' was not what you intended to write, but if your gf is your equal, as she should be, then there is no 'let' about it.
As for openness and honesty, why wouldn't you be? It isn't a virtue it is a necessity in a relationship.
