O/T a bit, so happy now
I just have to post about how happy I am nowadays. I don't post here very often but I know some of you followed my story when I was very active here.
I think I mentioned in a previous post a while ago that there was some 'romance' going on , well we took it realy slowly and really carefully, we've become really good friends who can talk about absolutely anything, we have lots in common, we have friends in common and friends apart, and we just seem to gel together.
I had problems with him at first because he was my brothers best friend. Well, not so much with him but with aquaintences giving us odd looks when we were together, I'm over that now.
He's a social drinker, like me, we'll both have a drink or two then switch to water or coke if we're out. I like that. I like a drink or two but no more, and I don't want to be out with a drunk escort, but i never needed to even mention it and my choice of drink is never questioned.
He treats me like a lady, but isnt over the top with it.
He respects me and my space, but he's there if I ask him to be, every time.
He texts me good morning every single day, and doesnt care that I'm not a morning person and too grumpy to reply sometimes.
I dunno where it's going, but it's going good for now
I just wanted to share some good times with you all, I shared the bad times and you were all there for me, now I'm sharing hope and a future (whatever that is!)

I'm so happy you shared your happiness. You deserve it. You've been through a lot the past few years, and I am so glad to see that you have met someone who treats you the way you deserve to be treated. I hope everything works out the way it should, Lucy. I am so happy for you.

I just wanted to update this and tell you all that it's still fun and still going strong.
His ex (from 10 years back) isn't really happy about it, but she is alcoholic and we both detatch from the badmouthing she gives us locally
Things are good, there is life after tradgedy and devastation, you just have to get out there and embrace it!

I'm thinking that it's time for all this to come to an end. I've enjoyed his company and the time we've spent together, but I know I'm bored and it's not a 'forever thing'
I think he knows that too so I'm not too bothered about ending it.
I am so grateful to him though, for being there, for understanding and for helping me move on in so many ways he will never know or understand! I know there will alway be some tie between us but I'm happy to think it'll be a friendship tie and a good positive tie.
I'm a bit sad that things haven't worked out, it's nothing he's done said or been, he's a wonderful bloke and I know we'll stay friends. I just know it's not for me, but I needed that time with him, does that make sense?
I think I'm ready for real life now, whatever it brings .

Thank you for coming back and sharing your happiness. It makes a huge difference here to know how people really do get a happy life back.
