He came to me first, we started hanging out about once a week, until he was seriously injured and I took care of him. Needless to say, we're together again, but hesitant to jump back into a relationship again. Call it a test drive if you will, but were taking our time. I believe it's in us to date again, as the feelings for one another never died, but how do we move forward without moving too quickly? I have stayed with him at his house, hung out with his family, and they are more than excited about having me back in their lives. He has not been to my house though. A few of my family members are supportive of us being together, and want him to come around..but my dad is not one of those people. I'm family orientated, and now I'm finding it difficult balancing both roles. My ex and I have only been together again a month, and I want him to come around my family, but he's nervous. I don't know if it's because of the 'talk' my dad will want to have with him. I feel like he just needs to bite the bullet and get it all over with, but i don't want him to be uncomfortable. How can I begin to bring him around without it being tense among my family? While I've forgiven, I'm guarded, and so is my family. They don't want to see me get hurt again, but we want things to work out. Hence my new struggle..is time really the only thing that will make the awkwardness/tension die down? How can we all reconnect?
