Hi Jenny.
Welcome. Good for you.
My late significant other would never say "I TOLD YOU SO"... she'd just give me "the look" - it says far more.
I'm just kidding. She and I did not disagree on that issue - often.
I knew I was in real deep doo-doo when "the look" was accompanied by "the sigh". That was normally saved only for use over our religious but not spiritual differences - interpersonal relationship tactical nuke strike. 'Worked every time.
Waves little white-flag.
Please be gentle with your man the day he finds out what "we" feel to be a coming truth - we're (guys in general) "kind of fragile" that-way until those of the gender more-fair lead us to believe it was our idea anyway. Wink. That day "could" be any day now. It might be a "good" day (I would so hope) but it's best to be prepared for other possibilities too.
Fingers-crossed. Following the related media seems prudent in the information/disinformation age and enjoyable forums encourage informative discussion, collaboration and shared learning opportunities. Invite your other-half to participate?
Just kidding again.
Was there any "one" or "two" events that led you to your position on this issue? The reason why I ask Jenny is I'm curious what younger people "have grown up with". I sort of have the impression that the "idea" has more acceptance as the decades have past to the point where it is more taken for granted y'know? It was different when I was young and there was a real stigma assigned to anyone thought to be of such belief. Sometimes time changes things for the better but not often enough.
All anyone really is required to do is prove "it" once verifiably on a scale large enough for it to become known - six hours tops and everything changes for the people of this planet. The "de-bunkers" and those who'd rather that not occur are required to be near-perfect each and every time. Their time is running out and it really only is a matter of time.
I had to be convinced of my current position on the issue. There was a time "I did not want to believe"... didn't resist much beyond doing my own research though. Even now the more I look the more I find - many little things - too many "things" poorly or miss-explained or not explained at all and the weight of the data says - keep looking.
