[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone up-thread said they thought Garrett wasn’t into Taylor anymore. Why? 
I thought his body language was still good on reunion show.
Is it just bc they no longer have plans to move to San Diego??[/quote]

That was me.

It’s a very slight change in his voice and also in his eyes; the sparkle is gone. My guess is that his family (mom in particular) made things very stressful for him, and he fell into a mild depressive state over the potential move to San Diego. That and/or he was on mood-stabilizing meds.

From the beginning, Garret’s mom gave off a vibe that is very familiar to me but hard to put into words.[b] I’m mixed race, half-white like Taylor and often get the same type of closed-off reaction from certain people. It’s not necessarily racism, just other-ism, perhaps. [/b] Par for the course in life-long F’burg families.

The fact that Fong and husband flew cross country to appear on the reunion show, yet Garrent’s parents didn’t bother to make the one hour drive, speaks volumes.  If I remember correctly, Taylor’s dad didn’t even want to appear on the show in the beginning.   [/quote]

Re the bolded, I understand exactly what you mean because my mother was that way. She looked down upon and was suspicious of anyone not from the US and/or not fully white. I'm so sorry for people like my mom. All I can say to console you is that I am not like that and that sort of racism in our family is ending with her generation. [/quote]

And if they've been living in Fredericksburg with his parents between their travels I'm sure that hasn't been fun for Taylor. [/quote]

True.

I hope they push through and at least try living together in DC. Garret will need to pick his wife over his mother now and not be a baby about it. [/quote]
