grow old with my husband (read all 3 entries…)
We may actually be growing younger... 2 years ago

But we survived the quitting smoking thing! And I got a cool new job, so now he’s going to go back to school – I work at a wonderful job with great people who accept and value me the way I am, so suddenly, I’m wearing my hippy clothes again and working out again and I’ve got this braid thing I do behind my left ear, and I’m thinking about getting a tattoo… We’ve started holding hands and snuggling while we walk through the mall, and our daughter just thinks that’s way too cool. Things just keep getting better and better.

So are we growing older together, or younger? Whatever. Doesn’t matter.

lovely

just lovely.

I hear more stories of people moving away from each other. Yours is the second one in as many days of people getting closer. It is inspirational for me, somebody who is having a hard time believing in love again.

Why, thanks!

Yes, I so remember that feeling. VERY WELL… I went out with a score of guys before meeting my husband, who just wanted me to keep them company and provide them with sex while they looked for the right person. Several even told me this. I was such a freakin’ dishrag! Hard not to get cynical.

What changed: I stopped going out with anybody while I made myself happy, started the process of fixing my issues (haven’t finished yet but I’m moving forward), and concentrated on my soul and myself. Does that help? Don’t mean to sound snotty… Living well is the best revenge, for what it’s worth, and in the end, you’re left with a great life while you look for the great partner. The wrong person may screw you over, but in the end, feel sorry for them that they felt the need to be that person. How tortured must they be?

I’ll think good thoughts for you. Don’t let one selfish a-hole ruin it all for you, if you can help it.

Dunno if this is out of line… What you said just resurrected all kinds of horrible memories, and I tend to get defensive on behalf of others rather quickly…

thank you

for your candid response. It is probably the best thing you can say to me rright now. I am currently working on myself as wel. I am having a hard time being alone. yet I am haveing a harder time finding who I want to be with. I guess taking the time to work on me will pay off in the long run. I am getting better every day. I appreciate your honesty.

Nice to hear somebody defending what I am also trying to do.

thanks for the words of encouragement.
