An Official Relationship...
Funny thing happened the other night.
I went to the local oval to watch my man Ellvises children playing cricket. He had made a lovely dinner for us, bought me a fold up chair and the whole deal. He's a honey.
Anyway, we were sitting there watching the children, and his ex wife was there. She was sitting with a bunch of her friends, occasionally sending us a foul look and drinking beer from a bottle.
We just minded our own, but it was hard to ignore the very loud conversation going on beside us...
"Has he introduced you to her yet??"
Mumbled reply, laughter.
Then this, from his ex wife...
"Well, it has to be a legitimate relationship. They've had coffee together!" Laughs her her head off.
Now, a few weekends ago, we were in a local coffee shop, getting a coffee before heading out on a well planned hunt through the Saturday morning Garage Sales. In line behind us, two people back, was his ex wife. She didn't acknowledge him, he didn't acknowledge her, and I just pretended I had no idea who she was, because we haven't been introduced yet. Considering that we had to stand about half a meter from her to pick up our coffee it was pretty awkward. Presumably this is where the coffee comment comes from...
But, I think its pretty rude to be commenting on the legitimacy of our relationship. She doesn't even know me! Plus, we have been seeing each other for a year now, so to my mind, there is no reason to question the legitimacy of it. Ellvis doesn't presume to question the legitimacy or otherwise of her relationships.
I'm not going to let it bother me too much... but I do keep reminding Ellvis that I don't think I'm ready for us to take our relationship to the next level... Coffee AND Cake. LOL
"Cake Ellvis? Cake is a big step."
"I don't think I'm ready for Cake."
"Can I have some time to think about Cake?"
"I wonder what our children would think about us eating Cake together."
"Perhaps we need to discuss what Cake will mean for all of us..."

Relationship talk makes me hungry :-)
