Stoicess' Secret

You’ve been together now for over a year, and you’ve not been invited to any events with your partner’s family. Now it’s fall, and the end-of-year holidays are rolling around again, and you’d like to get your calendar in order for the festive season. You mentioned the two of you carving out some time to visit both your families together this year, and you received pushback. The response was, “My parents don’t like strangers”.

You met a great person and you both click, but you’re not physically attracted to them even though they are nice, intelligent and kind.
