Us @ 4

Babe and I have been together for 4 years.  For the past few weeks, we have been arguing quite a bit, mostly over family issues.  And after we came back from Taiwan, we argued again and I thought this was going to be it, but it didn't happen.  Not that I wanted it to happen.

I talked to my mom over the phone and she was very supportive of what I told her - as a friend - but as a parent, she thought there were some serious things that Chris and I have to iron out.

Yes, that is our anniversary =)  Chris and I have overcome a lot. That may actually be an understatement.  What happened this time has made me become more clear about Chris' level of commitment.  A lot more than I have imagined.  And can you believe it, I might just have delayed my own wedding indefinitely.

I told him that I wasn't ready to join his family - yet.  Hum.................

Throughout this whole ordeal, Chris has been more than understanding.  Again, more than I have imagined.  He's the one that's sort of stuck in the middle.  Poor guy.

As for me, I know I have lots to do and some serious issues to think about, namely, how to successfully work out a sustainable relationship with his parents and all of his family.

Not easy, but I will try.
