The empire has fallen back!

I know I've written frequently about my love but there is a part that I haven't written about. I only write about it now because I feel that it was quite important and it must be documented. There was a bit of a ...misunderstanding ( that's the right word) between his family and i. When we began dating, they all seemed to carry a friendly kind of stand-offish aura. I'm quite shy and this kind of intimidated me, because I did not know exactly what they thought of me. Now understand a bit of my background, when I say in the geeky girl in the back of the class I truly am. I'm used to an environment of backstabbing and misleading friends that aren't really friends. My level of distrust was really only natural. They are really only concerned for his wellbeing so their level of distrust was natural also. His family was honestly very nice and I tried my best to be polite. I guess I was a bit overly polite. That's why it took me aback when they openly disapproved of our relationship. I began to wonder why and the potential reasons ranged from my unique style of dress to my father's lower financial status, which I still wonder if it were a contributing factor. They forbade us to be around each other. It was a mentally exasperating part of my life, and I couldn't help but feel that it was my fault. It wasn't until about a month ago that I went to his house for the first time since the problem started. They seemed nice which was expected. I ate dinner there and I guess I was just... myself. I wasn't my total self, normally I have a mouth like a sailor and know almost every dirty joke under the sun, but I was more myself than I was before. I guess a more refined or pure version of myself. They seemed to be okay with me. That was a bit unexpected. I was preparing myself for hell fire and brimstone. We joking call his dad Darth Vader and their opposition to us the empire but as I said I think the empire is beginning to fall back. I still don't fully trust them but I'm getting there and I'm sure they feel the same. We'll get there... soon.
