Thank you all SO SO SO much. This is all stuff I knew but couldn't grab onto and thats why I posted. Share our woe and it gets cut in half right?
He texted me first thing when he woke up and said he was going to shower and come over if that was ok. We had THE TALK. I expressed everything....and he explained everything.....and we're fine.
Its just a lot of getting used to stuff that I have to do, and so does he. The difference in this instance is that I'm willing to do so. He's such a wonderful man.....a litle adjustment on my part is very well worth it.
He actually thanked me for bringing it all up, and said he loves me more.....when I asked why he said because the talking made us closer.
Ah....relief. Emotionally exhausted....so I'm gonna go to bed.
Again, thank you all soooo much!!!!!!! Every one of you were absolutely right!
