Hi All!!!!

It has been many months since I last posted. I see a few new faces have arrived, while as far as I can tell tim became timmy??? Is there a story here? (happy belated birthday by the way).

We finally shed the remnants of our house guests—we had them for 7 weeks, which is quite a long time. Times were good and they helped us out a lot, but it is nice to have your privacy again. Especially when you are trying to produce offspring!!!

I am becoming very comfortable about myself being gay. My wife has really accepted it nicely too. I still have only told a few people, but I am now getting close to possibly telling more. However, whenever I get to such a moment, I usually chicken out. I am not looking for a boyfriend so I guess it is not so important. However, friends are best when you are talking totally honestly to them.

The biggest change in my life is that my parents are not really talking to me now. You would think it is because I am gay. I have not told them, but that shock would probably go over OK, as they have a close gay friend and have invited my gay friend and his boyfriend to functions before. Rather the problem is more sorted and due to my wife and my mom not being able to get along. Women! Both are very head strong. Put and put a spineless wimp in between (yes! that’s me), and it spells a message for disaster. Well, finally I set the record straight (yes the spineless wimp stood up to his mom) and laid out the problem for her, which she still does not believe (blaming the daughter-in-law is always easier than admitting your own mistakes). When I talked to her, it was cool for the first time being in control with her. However, her pride is much stronger than her love for me and she has decided to part company for the next while (how long—who knows??). It was sad for me, but I have a great wife, totally awesome in-laws, and great aunt and cousins that live nearby. So I am OK.

Otherwise, I don’t have too much to tell. I will do my best to post as regular as possible.

Hugs to all

Darren

... you've been sadly missed. And great to hear you're in good trim, apart from parental hang-ups. In the circumstances, it somehow doesn't sound the right time for a spineless wimp to let on to his mom that he's gay - might that make things even worse between her and Cristina? But you'll know best - good luck to you whichever way.

Hugs,

Mihangel

I was wondering where you went and if you would come back!

I'm very glad you did, as I always enjoyed reading your posts. Cool that you're trying to become a Daddy! Smile Sad about the mom; maybe remind her she's locking herself out, that you have a lovely wife and great inlaws and that she's denying herself a lot of things she could instead be enjoying. She can't be that young now, and if she's to become a grandmother in a while, does she REALLY want to be on less than friendly terms with the child's parents? Smile

Well, good to see you back again. Take care.
