I've known M about 7 months now. When we met there wasn't anything going on between us. We would have lunch or hang out and watch a movie occasionally. I had just broken up with someone else when we met, and ended up dating someone else for a while. In the meantime M and I kept in contact and became good friends.
Things changed between us a couple of months ago. This time around I did things right, though I fought it for a long time. He is everything I swore up and down I didn't want the second time around. He's too tall, not in the career field I had decided after the ex and I split that I wanted, ect. He is patient and kind, wonderful with my boys, and gave me the space when I freaked when things started to get serious.
A chain of events has occurred over the last week that led the both of us to really evaluate what is happening between us, and in life. After a long and heartfelt talk on Saturday evening I told him that I love him. I had never been so scared, and was certain that he could hear my heart pounding through my chest. I swear my throat closed shut for a while.
After all this time I was beginning to think this moment would never happen.

so, inquiring minds want to know............. did he say it back??? Yes, I am just curious to his reaction. I am assuming from your post it didn't go bad. Also, it is a huge step but one of those ones that reminds you how human you really are. Aside from being Super-Mom and the working woman and everything you do, it makes you remember other things about yourself too. Thanks for sharing your story.

Finding, I'm so sorry it didn't work out.
It sounds like your reasons for kicking him to the curb were good ones.
Don't second guess yourself, if you even are.
