First, I LOVE YOUR LIST. And I love the things you have planned, like the cruise for Marc's graduation. I also think it's extremely positive that Gabe is interested - he wouldn't be thinking about stuff that far ahead if he wasn't planning to be around.

Second, I love that you guys do have so many good moments. It's great that you have here to vent, but it's also awesome that there are so many good things about the R. Yes, you both have your patterns, and there are some things that need to be addressed, but it's good to see there are also healthy and fun patterns that can be built on.

Hypothetically, what would you want to address? And how could you break it down? E.g. start with playfully asking him to go steady or something equally funny but light and don't let it turn into a long drawn-out R discussion. What would you want to address after that? And what would be a good way to do it?
