It's
been several months since EP started swimming in that uncharted river so; he is
scheduled to fly back for a visit soon. What will be different about this
trip is, he will meet my family. Yes, I am almost ready to say I have a
boyfriend (manfriend) but; that family approval is needed first!
Being that I have been married, and through other break ups, my
family isn’t accepting of men, anymore. Sometimes I understand their
position on this, because my last boyfriend was really involved with my family.
Therefore, I wasn’t the only person that had broken feelings because that
relationship didn’t work. After, that break up, they were like, “don’t
bring anyone else around us!” But here I am again; about to do what they
asked me not to do; chuckle!
Learning from that relationship, I became the type of person that
will not introduce anyone to my family until I know we have established forward
progression. For instance, I am not introducing a person that may
want to take me to dinner from time to time or a guy that has “commitment”
issues, to my family circle. I am a family oriented person and being
around, or doing things with my family, is a must for anyone I am dating.
Thus, I am a little nervous about him meeting my family; let
me not lie, I am super nervous! I know he can handle himself and
he has shown me that forward progression is in the plans. However,
can he handle the “Mom” test? You may laugh, but moms are the hardest cookies
in the bunch, especially “my” mom! She is a no nonsense type of
lady. If she doesn’t like you, you will know it immediately! If
she likes you, she is sweet as pie!
As a result, I hope he is ready! I will let you know
how the visit turns out. Do you think he will pass the “mom” test?
