Yeah, trust is what always gets me. I've been jerked around by a lot of men in my past and I truly thought this one was different. I mean, in the way he treats me he is different. He never tells me what to wear, or who I can talk to, or any of the things my ex has done. He truly treats me like a queen. And we partied together when we first got together, because at the time I was 22 and that was my life. But I'm not 22 anymore, and I'm starting to build a successful career and life. I feel like he didn't grow up with me.
As for tomorrow evening dinner, what can I say to "suggest" that he not drink before dinner (and limit drinks with dinner to one), without sounding nagging? I want it to come across as caring, because that's truly what it is, not bitching for no reason.
