Hi jon kirkham,

It looks like you’ve taken the first important adult step: Being consciously aware of how you’re reacting and why. Followed by vowing to tweak how you respond, and doing it before anything untoward comes out!

I hope your love also has success in not allowing you or her mom (or anyone!) to push her buttons.

Don’t worry about blowing it on your last date. Just be aware. And be flexible. Plans often go awry. It’s not what you do, it’s that you are together.

To continued success!

Inky
