You know you are a good person and you and your partner love and care about each other, no one else's opinion matters.
Thankyou! That is a whole other topic altogether. My partner doesn't really think I need to be in recovery and isn't mega supportive of the no drinking thing but she's getting used to it aha. I'm doing what I need to do
I think I am just going to say I'd rather not know if her mom says anything negative about me because I am so damn sensitive. It's silly because she doesn't even know me.. I've only met her about 3 times and I've been nothing but polite so her dislike can't be of me as a person... but she sure as hell makes it seem personal.
On another note had a catchup with a friend over a meal today.. It was nice. She was going to order a glass of wine and hinted on about sharing a bottle. Fleeting thought of "well one wouldn't hurt" came and went. Said I was just going to order a soft drink. She ended up just getting one too but I felt like she was slightly disappointed? Maybe I'm just paranoid. We had a lovely night anyway and instead of going for a cocktail after we went for a coffee.
