Yes - my parents do not approve and therefore I haven't told them. Religion does play a very important role for my parents. He comes from a mixed family and therefore doesn't practice anything. He read about many different religions and finds them all to be fundamentally the same. I haven't asked him to be a specific religion as I like who he is as a person. My parents have an issue with it, but I don't.

That is the reason we are not officially on Facebook. I have my parents on Facebook and since I haven't told them about him, I can't make our relationship public. Honestly, I don't even care to have it on Facebook. I don't think that the 1K+ people need to know who I'm dating and the status of our relationship. But yes, the main reason is my parents.

I saw him on Friday. He contacted me and I stopped by his parents' house. For the first time in a long time I felt like I was talking to my boyfriend. We just clicked! It was great! The following day wasn't bad, Sunday was horrible.

Sunday was my birthday and he forgot about it. It's OK that he did. I understand that he has been thru a lot. Once he realized that he did, he wanted to see me. I saw him that night and he had a gift for me. We had dinner and my sister joined us too. During our conversation he got upset and got up from our table, leaned over and got into my face while yelling at me. We left the restaurant and I drove him home. During the drive he calmed down and wanted to have small talk. By the time we reached his house, he wanted to kiss me goodnight.

It has been a very difficult month! I'm trying very hard to get him to see a psychologist again. He doesn't think that he needs to. He thinks that he is recovering just fine.
