Yes, my birthday upset me. I think he is a regimented guy and he sticks to all of his commitments, so Monday night is lake meeting night. I gave him a chance to realize he should be missing a meeting for my birthday. It took a while. But he got it. It was like this weekend we were gong to the lake and I was going to his house and we were going together in his car. He asked me if I had a beach chair and if I needed one. He caught himself and said “I should just bring one to make it easier on you”

As far as the Christmas present.... we were dating a little over 3 months. I went out of my way and got him a special present, but I did not expect the same. I think when he realized I got him a gift, he just grabbed something . A tin with Godiva hot chocolate and a candle. Gift giving isn’t this thing, he will do something nice for you first. I did drop some hints. We will see if he picks them up.

As far as his son, we did talk about it. He apologized for it before I could say anything and he said it will definitely happen soon. His son really likes me and vice versa. He would be happy. I’d like him to know before we are all on vacation together.

I’ve been very patient and understanding. And he tells me as much and tells me I’m amazing.

He’s worth it.
