Flow?

I've always kind of thought of myself as a bit of a social chameleon.  I don't have a hugely wide range, but when I compare myself to less socially malleable people I find that I can feel fairly comfortable in a range of social situations.  I'm able to adjust myself quite a bit and feel comfortable enough to not avoid those situations and to actually enjoy most of them.  On the online do-it-yourself version of the Myers Briggs Introvert-Extrovert scale I tend slightly toward the E side.


But, now I find myself faced with a new situation that I'm not sure about.  I've never had to face a situation quite like this one.  I mean, at work I "go with the flow" all the time.  I do this with friends or on outings...  But, none of these situations involve emotions.  I have no emotional investment in which restaurant we go to for dinner or if we go to the beach or the boardwalk to take photos on Saturday. 

But, there's a definite emotional investment in intimate relationships!  I want to go with the flow.  I know that there is mutual caring and respect.  I know that we MUST do things this way so that she can deal with her emotions and trauma.  But, this way is also making me deal with my past and my emotions.  

This could be a bumpy ride.  Hold on!
