Just stopping by for a quick hello guys. I still read your posts every now and then but life has just been very busy recently so I haven't really been posting.
Well my update - looking for a new job (still hating my old one because the company is unreliable, unprofessional and just asshole-ish ). Going out with friends still and having fun but partying a lot less these days because... I've fallen in love.
He is in the Royal Navy and I met him when his ship was in port. I've flown to meet him every place the ship has docked since and he has told me he loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with me. He is uneducated, doesn't have two pennies to rub together, has two children from past relationships, is divorced and has more tatoos than Wentworth Miller but he is the most genuine, perceptive and honest person I have ever known.
I get flowers sent to my office, he emails me many, many times a day telling me how much he cares for me - and the way he writes is incredible - he is so articulate. My family like him as he is from the same background as they are, he is trusting and communicative and emotionally open and we seem to have many of the same values. He has also been through a divorce and has been cheated on more than once so he knows what it is like to have someone stomp all over your heart.
The thing that has blown me away is how unbelieveably different it feels to be treated with respect and affection. I got so used to being lied to and emotionally abused that I really didn't realise what it could be like to be loved by a man who treats you properly and who doesn't put you down all the time. He tells me I am beautiful and smart and that he is lucky to have me - totally the opposite to what my ex used to say - and I'm starting to believe he truly means it.
I can't remember the last time I felt so loved and so happy. Sorry to gush but I just wanted to tell someone and here I can write it all out. I've only known him 2 months but it feels like we've been together forever. Yes, it may just be a crush but I really don't think so...
I hope everyone else is doing OK. I saw that the Cougar has returned from gay Paris - you go girl!
And Frecks, keep up the flirting with the Walmart ladies - you'll get there in the end.
I hope things get better for you Crushy, there has to be an end to this nightmare at some point (maybe when both the boys hit 18?!)
Lots of love to everyone - I'm bursting with it so have some spilling over to give away!
