My friend started seeing a guy in the summer, August I think, who she had liked from afar for about two years and is going well, he seems a good guy, he's got a good job and is solvent, no kids, no weird exes, red flags or drama, no lovebombing, a bit of a dream really. They said they loved each other in November and she's really happy which is not the usual story you read on Mumsnet I wouldn't think.
He's going to his family for Christmas in Devon and we live in Stockport. He asked her to go with him. I've told her it's too soon and all happening too quick and she said she agreed, that she wanted to but was afraid that if it all went wrong later she would have got too invested by meeting his family. She doesn't get on that well with her family, no big dramas but her dad can be a pain.
They seem to be well suited and he turns up when he says he will and calls when he says and all fine and dandy but she says that even though it was her instinct to be cautious I've underlined it for her and made her feel more anxious than she was to start with, but I'm only looking out for her.
I've been like a bull in a china shop haven't I?
