Oh - there was a "situation" on our vacation...I guess I just didn't think it would still be hanging over us:

I invited him to Ireland to the wedding of a family friend. The wedding was wonderful - he and I had a great time socializing, dancing and holding hands. Although it was really easy to travel together and we had a good time, there was a MAJOR incident with one of my closest friends (the sister of the man who was married). During the wedding she got really agitated and told us that our PDAs were "unacceptable" (honestly the most we did was hold hands and he kept his arm wrapped behind me a couple of times at the reception - there was no making-out or anything of the sort). Anyhow, we were supposed to stay with her for about 4-5 days. After the second day she woke up and Jason was already awake and sitting in her family room - she apparently looked at him and said, "I've had enough of this, this has to stop, I just want my F#@!ing house back", and she stormed out. I was still sleeping. I came into the living room and he looked at me with this really odd expression but he didn't say anything except "good morning". She came back in and was very chipper with me, told me to have a great day and left - I thought she was addressing us both except I noticed she was only looking at me. After her departure he told me what had happened and how she had talked to him - I was shocked and felt horrible that he had experienced that treatment.

I immediately booked us into a B&B in a nearby town and I tried really hard to "fix" the damage. That first night he told me that I should spend some time alone with her - and that he was going to stay in and read. I went to her place and she came unglued on me, she told me that she thought I was a fool, that he was obviously taking advantage of me and that he was disgusting. I asked her why she felt that way and she just said, "because that's how I feel and that's how it is - he's making you look like a muppet." Quite honestly it was really like she was having a meltdown and she couldn't give me any exact reasons why she felt that way or any examples of what he had done. I was shocked, as I had felt none of those things.

So...this is probably where I was wrong... I went back to the B&B and told him what had happened and let him know that I thought she was completely wrong about him and that I wasn't going to be spending any more time with her. He was really hurt and I felt AWFUL that I had told him anything that she had said, but it was too late. I kept apologizing for telling him and I told him that I loved him very much and I couldn't understand what on earth was wrong with her. The next day he went golfing with her dad and he had a great time - her dad even apologized for her awful behavior.

We spent the rest of our trip traveling around and for the most part it was really relaxing and fun. However, her actions and words came up several times and they hung over both of us like a dark cloud. I just couldn't seem to do enough to assure him that I loved him and that I put no value in her words what-so-ever. He said that he didn't understand how I could be friends with someone like her. I told him that I had actually decided to put the friendship "away" because I couldn't really forgive her for what she'd said and done - and that I was at a loss for what else I could say or do to try to repair any damage that our time with her had caused so that what happened would not have an impact on our relationship.

We had a great couple of last days together in Dublin and everything seemed very nice and relaxed. We met his son (who had spent 10 days with my brother in a different part of Europe) and we all traveled home together. Things seemed fine.

So, all of that dirty laundry is now hanging out for all to see - what do you all think of that and how it might be affecting us now?
