@legendoflex I'm so happy for you and your boyfriend :D
            And I feel you, maybe if I'll have a partner, I'll also stop reading romantic books? Pfft, no, that'll never happen cause I can't live without Cannoness' characters XD
            But I do miss your comments a lot, and I'm sure you would love Cannoness' new story and characters

Btw I only mentioned that his cousin is gay because that's how his cousin introduced himself, and it was hilarious! ;)

@Nickilob Happy New year!....things are going very well all things considered! I'm still in a relationship with my boyfriend and we both are doing very well. Parents still aren't a fan of him, but are begrudgingly accepting that he is here to stay! A little dissapointed that I never got back to reading here on Wattpad, but due to my own relationship I haven't felt the urge to read anymore because I get all the romantic feelings I need in real life! Things aren't always perfect, we had our first big fight a few weeks ago, but we moved past it and are doing very good! I also got to meet some more of his family, and his proclaimed gay cousin pulled me aside to thank me....he said that Colby(my boyfriend) is the happiest he's ever seen him since we have started dating, and my heart feels very very fuzzy! Our first anniversary will be March 18th

Oh, and don’t forget to tell your mum how much her trying to be accepting and supportive means a lot to you. And that you appreciate her taking time for coffee and chatting because Mum’s too like to know they are loved and appreciated. And it will help strengthen your own bond with her. Good Luck to all of you and may everything continue moving forward to developing positive, happy, and strong personal and family relationships!

WOW, fantastic news. So happy for you Glad your Mum has realised that basically it’s up to you to live your life now the way you want, making the decisions yourself. Great parents will allow that and you to spread your wings. Allow you to make mistakes but be there to support you should you fall down. I’m even told by my parents (aged in their 70’s) that they still always worry about us as we are their kids no matter our age and that they will also always be there to help, support and guide us if we want it. Sounds like your Mum is a good parent. Really Parents are also always learning how to be a good parents. There is no instruction Manuel. Ok, there maybe self-help books but children and parents have different personalities, learning styles as well as the usual social, cultural, religious beliefs and financial standing in society that affect parenting. But a universal similarity of all GOOD parents is that they alway want what is  best for their kids and show it through caring and trying to protect us -but sometimes forget our age and it can feel a bit too much and overbearing. But its something they will continue to learn - how to have a relationship with your adult children. For her to acknowledged her mistake would have been hard. And the fact that she’s trying to be accepting and ultimately putting your happiness first shows how supportive she is and takes a lot of effort too. I wish you and your partner all the very best in creating your life together and glad your relationship with your mum is looking positive too. I know my relationship with my parents did change when I became a young adult and still continues to evolve as I/they get older (I’m early 40's).

The three of us have actually had a coffee date together to just sit and talk more one on one and things went really well! We have another one coming up in about a week

@SnowfakesElegance I appreciate that at least someone likes it lol!....I'm not very good at motivating myself to finish projects, but when others take interest it usually gets me started again :)

@SnowfakesElegance I pretty much stopped because it didnt look like anyone was interested, and life stuff got in the way lol! I'll see if sometime soon I can start updating again ;)

And I guess it's just very hard to explain to them why I love him so much because a lot of the reasons are very personal and private to both of us

We agreed on our first date to go 50/50 and he ended up paying the bill anyway....so i basically told him that the second date was on me and if he didnt let me pay that there would be no third date :) .....idk I guess there are some things I like about my parents marriage that Iike, and there are some things that work for them that simply aren't what I want, and I feel like they expect my partner to have every aspect of their life together, be able to provide for me right away, and should look just like their relationship....

Although I can understand some of the concerns, they are not deal breakers for me. I understand that the first relationship likely might not be the one that ends in marriage...but at the same time there is a chance that it could! We both deeply love and care about each other, and treating it more "casual" as my step mom would put it, to me would make it a self fulfilling prophecy. 
            And yeah he has slipped up once and made a joke that wasnt appropriate at the time in front of my family...but it wasnt intended to be malicious or disrespectful and he has since profusely apologized. And the thing that comes to the man doing more work than the women i simply dont agree on. I dont think that he should have to pay for everything just because i am a women. And yeah you cant make everything always 50/50 but I'm the kind of person that's tries to keep things as fair as possible....and I've tried to explain to my parents that the only reason he doesnt do more is because I dont let him lol!

@legendoflex  yup
