Hi Ladies!

I have been an on and off lurker on these boards for about 4 years (started with a previous relationship) and so I am super excited to add myself to the list!!

A little bit about me -

I have only been with bf for about 4 months. I met him a couple of months after breaking up with my ex of 7 years (we were high school sweethearts). I had serious LIW-itis with the ex and these boards and much of the break up wisdom here really helped me make the breakup a healthy one and a fairly easy transition.
I was minding my own business purposely NOT looking to meet anyone for a while when I met the now BF and despite initially not thinking anything would come of going on a date with him, I am so happy that I gave him a chance because he is so amazing and I am so lucky to have him in my life!

I am 23 and BF is 28. I am just about to finish school and have gone through a lot of changes and transition in my life over the last year but I feel like I am in such a great place now and have worked so hard to get here that as some before me have said here "when you know, you know". BF is such a good man and I am just looking forward to nurturing what we have and helping it grow! I am in no rush to get off the LIW list since this is still new but I also wouldn't wait 7 years again (just not right for ME personally) so I am looking forward to being around for a bit!! :appl: :wavey:
 
Haha, waiting 7 years when you started dating at 15 or 16 seems reasonable to me :mrgreen:

Congrats on the new Beau! Enjoy dating and try not to get too crazy. Welcome!
 
Maebelle - lol I was definitely not actually waiting 7 years and i hear ya in terms of needing to date a long time before being able to move forward when you meet in high school! There were lots of other "stuff" with that relationship but it doesn't matter anymore! I am feeling great about the new bf and not feeling liw-itis at all! Just happiness at the thought of having him in my life forever.
 
Hey! I'm new here too! And I was in a very similar situation. Started dating my ex when I was 18-19ish and we were together for about 7 years. I too felt like I wouldn't wait for that long. I started dating my current bf when I was 28 and we have been together for four years. We were so obsessed with each other when we first started dating, I actually thought that we would be married or engaged by now. After a rough patch a couple years ago he bought (and returned!) a ring already. :oops: now we are back on track and hopefully will be engaged soon!!! Anyways, that's my story! Welcome!!! :wavey:
 
Welcome!! :wavey:
 
Tuffylvr! I am glad everything is going well now for you and back on track! :)

Grlsbstfrnd- Thank You!!!!!!
