So things have been quite different with h today so far since he got home last night. Interesting to observe. When I picked him up at the car dealer this morning (he was having recall work done) first of all, I drove. I didn't just hand over my keys. he doesn't like the way i drive so i used to just avoid hearing about it by handing him my keys in situations like this but today i said to myself no. I'm driving. when he made the inevitable comment about my driving (I was going too slow for him) I said with a smile dude, this is my car and I'll drive it any way I like. He surprised me by replying "Right on! You stood up for yourself!" We went out to breakfast then to wait for his car to be done and after we ate when the check came I got out my debit card and paid it. He said something about how "Wow, I like this new you" or something like that. that was kinda funny since the debit card is on our joint checking account haha but whatever. Something big has definitely happened inside me by speaking my truth about my sexuality to first myself last weekend and then to t a couple days ago. I feel very solid in my self if that makes sense. Actually t said I seemed that way the other day, and I realized this morning that is how I feel.
