Under the Rug

A million and one things have been happening lately that have really pushed this whole transition issue to the back burner. However, at the same time, it has made the whole thing much more of a non-issue and just a fact of life.

At one point (when Camdin was bugging me about not posting because I don't love him enough) I had started to write a post about a "hot-topic" among significant others: their changing identity within their partner's changing identity and the changing identity of their relationship. However, to me a least, this is also a non-issue. Because I never identified myself as any particular sexuality or sexual orientation, the changing external perception of my relationship does not affect me in any way, neither negatively nor positively.

The reason why I never posted more elaborately on that topic was because both Camdin and myself are involved in a three to four way move between/among houses/homes. So, we've been helping his parent's move out to their house in Fox Lake, while he's been moving in with me. Then in a month, we'll move up there for a month, then after that the two of us will move to our condo and they'll move to their new house in Geneva. Anyway, the point of all of this is, with all of the craziness that has been going on lately to take everyone's mind off of Camdin's transition, it has seemed like his parent's have been putting extra effort into using male pronouns and calling him "Cam." Granted, they make mistakes, like anyone else, but it's nice to see them trying.

And it's even more nice that they're entrusting me to take care of their amazing son for the rest of our lives together. We think everyone finally sees that we make a good team, no matter how either one of us is addressed/chooses to identify.
