Navigating new relationships
My son didn't want a party he wanted a meal.
He rang up to invite me a while back. Then as he ended that call "Oh your boyfriend too of course". Cringe! One it's my boyfriend he says and inviting him when his dad will be there.
Around the table are my ex, his current partner, her daughter, my daughter, me, my son his two best mates and my "boyfriend".
My guy is never flustered by anything or anyone. He's chatting with the boys easily and without talking down. He had to step away to take a work call. My ex made some comment on his way back but he dealt so easily with it. I wish I had his self confidence.
We walked back to mine and I told him how anxious I'd felt and he said "Yeah me too". I'd wish I could hide it like he does.
Still another stage in the relationships negotiated.
