Yeah, that would be good to do.

I'm pretty honest (ie. not intentionally dishonest), but have to admit having a strong tendency to minimize. But she knows this about me, and probably tends to take it into account. But this is almost 5 years. Especially with you not knowing each other much at all yet, it's better to just spell it out. There hasn't been time to develop a level of understanding to bypass anything. They need to get to know you.

I can't say for sure of course, but pretty much anyone who's dealt with BP is going to know some shifts are not gradual(!) It really doesn't seem unbelievable, you know?
