Recently someone told me
"I didn't even realize you and Ty were dating"
earlier, during the weekend, someone commented to me that we don't
'act like a couple' in public
and honestly it was starting to bother me
maybe there was something wrong with us?
shouldn't I want to always be sitting with him?
holding his hand? kissing his cheek?
when we go out together we'll spend most of the time socializing with other people, and while it's totally normal to me I'd never considered that others might find it odd
apparently it's unusual
I found this today, though, that made me feel better
it's from an article on autostraddle featuring wisdom from Emily Post, and this is how it goes:
Great love is seldom flaunted in public, though it very often shows itself in pride—that is a little obvious, perhaps. This underlying tenderness and pride which is at the base of the attitude of each, only glints beneath the surface of perfect comradeship. Their frank approval of whatever the other may do or say is very charming; and even more so is their obvious friendliness toward all people, of wanting the whole world beautiful for all because it is so beautiful to them.
I couldn't agree more.
I feel better now :)
