To Annie, please: Two years ago, I met the woman I’m currently seeing at a work seminar.
We both have decent employment, are in our mid-sixties, and are completely smitten with one another.
My ex didn’t want children, so I don’t have any, and she doesn’t because she can’t.
She has had multiple encounters with my brothers and their families, and both brothers and their wives have given me favorable feedback.
I got along well with her and her husband when I met her youngest sister at Christmas last year.
I’ve been considering asking her to live with me, but I have a serious reservation. She never holds my hand before I introduce her as my girlfriend, even when we run across someone we know in the town where we live.
We resume walking toward our goal after speaking with the person, and she immediately takes my hand once more.
I question how serious she believes our relationship to be. Am I thinking incorrectly?
How do I bring up this topic with her without breaking up with her? On the East Coast, confused
To the Confused: Perhaps this is a subconscious compulsion on her part, and pointing it out to her will be sufficient to resolve it. Another possibility is that she is unsure about making a significant commitment.
To find out the truth, you must start a conversation in any case.
