you're 100% correct, Kim. Priority is everything and that includes being transparent about other people in our lives. My approach wasn't honest with Gemma, in this story, or with myself, in every previous story. As I said, on a certain level I knew it, but refused to acknowledge it.

I did have a talk with Gemma before agreeing to Vanessa staying with me, but it became obvious she wasn't really comfortable with it despite saying otherwise.

It sounds as if you have a much healthier approach than I did.
