Well guys, I was planning to get my whole family together and announce the happy news that he has his visa.. when he got the visa. But he said something vague about leaving the Philippines on Facebook and all of a sudden everybody is asking me what's going on. It was a bit of a spoiler.. but I was super disappointed by everyone's reactions - My Mom just commented "oh, so soon?" and immediately changed the topic.. My Dad has hearing loss and attention deficit so I'm not sure if he got the story or not. Grandparents are still trying to hook me up with available nerds as though I'm still single.. My brother's reaction was "oh, huh, that's been a while" and his wife was pretty incredulous that CIC accepted us as a couple and commented "but doesn't he have kids or something?"
I really want him to feel welcomed and it's super depressing that people can't accept us as a couple as much as they would accept other people. So this is kind of anti-climactic. :'( Hope it all can change when he gets here.
