Hi Betsey - You know, it took me by surprise too, his instant anger. But having thought about it, I now understand this is fear. I'm the partner in our relationship who communicated for us both - he did not even have to ask questions, I would volunteer information. So such a significant turnaround has been a serious challenge. Yes, I have never kept anything hidden from him, and if I can be quiet about something so mundane, my goodness, what else could I possibly be hiding?
But as I see it, this is the way forward. A little spice and mystery is just what a 23 year old relationship needs. I'd rather he spent his time wondering what I was up to, than be taken for granted
