GC swears the only reason I was interested in him was because both his mom and dad were gone by the time we met so I didn't have to "pass inspection".As for my family, he asked me after he moved in "So when am I gonna meet your folks?" I told him when I was ready to get rid of him. <img src="/images/smilies/screwy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":screwy:" title="Screwy    :screwy:" data-shortname=":screwy:" />I had heard through the grapevine that my mother was furious that I had actually found a decent man and that if she ever got the chance to talk to him she would make sure he knew what a mistake he was making ... Yeah, she's a sweetheart ... lolA few months after that one of my grandsons passed away and we went to the funeral (in my hometown). He didn't say a word all during the funeral or at the gravesite after. In fact he didn't talk at all until we got about halfway home and he said "You know, you tried to warn me, but I am dumbfounded."We haven't been back. I don't necessarily "approve" of my children's choices in mates but I'll be damned if I am gonna give them a hard time about it. They are all grown men and it is their lives to live as they see fit. Not my place to pass judgement on what makes them happy.And I guess I am saying all this to re-iterate that it isn't important what anyone else thinks about your relationship. Letting other people (besides your partner) in is a sure way to find yourself alone. As long as you two are happy and content, that is all that matters. Commitment to your partner, no matter what anybody else thinks, is the key.</blockquote>
