OK, Let''s put this into perpective.....I was just making a comment with my own feelings, as well.


This isn''t a big deal, Girls.

Obviously I am not telling anyone what is allowed or not, or saying anyone isn''t coming form a good place.

Nor would I be ''fake''.

I''m definitely not arguing with anybody, I just think everyone is entitled their own opinion as you are your own. I wasn''t trying to say you''re being fake, but more so that *I* would have been "fake" if I didn''t question the situation.

We all have different opinions of what is appropriate/what is not but ultimately I don''t think anyone here can judge what IS and ISN''T ok to post mainly because this is a forum.

No hard feelings.

 

[Pushin40]

I agree.
Me too.
Sorry to both you and Maisey
I think I am just riled up today for some reason.

Easy now ladies. I appreciate the support and the concern. Please don''t let my posts cause any drama with one another here. I totally expected people to express doubt/concern/etc, I''m not taking it personally.

It has been an eye-opening 3 weeks. Yes, that''s a short time, but really, really healthy for our relationship. Am I perfect? No. Is she? No. Can we get through anything together? Yes, I am sure of it. Do I want to work on this relationship, even when it''s work? Yes. When she''s being a pain in the a$$? Yes. The amount of love and support she showed me and my children in the past few weeks is just... wow. Overwhelming.

It would take a novel to explain what has gone down in the past year and (almost) a half, but the strain on our relationship due to the ex-H has been the biggest thing we have dealt with on an ongoing basis. I truly sometimes can''t understand WHY she stuck it out with me, but she has. She is a very kind, generous, smart, thoughtful, sweet, amazing person. But also cranky and straight-forward and these last two qualities are hard for me. I am very sensitive, and when anyone in my life isn''t happy, I feel it and it wears me down. That''s my deal and I''m working on that (hello, more therapy-- my relationship with my ex-H ruined me).

I feel like I could spend 2 pages trying to justify why she''s the one for me, despite what I said previously when I was hurt (I can''t even remember what that was about to be honest-- I''m sure it was about the ex in some fashion). I''m changing boundaries with him and won''t allow him to mess with me and our lives anymore. I say F that S now when he tries to rile me up.

I''ll report back with an update at some point during the weekend. I''m not bringing my laptop, so it will have to be a quick iPhone update.

Thanks again for your support

That''s giving him a bit more power than he deserves, no? I don''t know you, but I would guess that you are probably a better and stronger person for having gotten through those past experiences with a not-so-wonderful ex-spouse. Try to focus on the positive changes you''ve made in life instead of dwelling on how that relationship affected you negatively.

Best of luck to you with your proposal! Have a fantastic weekend!

 

[TheyCall]

So, I''m not sure how I missed all the drama going on but glad I did!

ANYWAYS, by the looks of it - today is your day! **DUST** for all the wonderful things that will happen today! I am nearly jumping out of my seat knowing that this is happening today or this weekend and I barely know you! Hardly at all!

BEST of luck, Happy Thoughts, and DUST!!!

OMG I am so happy knowing that 4 time zones away, you might be proposing at ANY MOMENT! eeek! GL! DUST!
