38!!! Good for you for holding out until you found the right guy!! Its hard to hold out when everyone around you is taking the plunge, having kids etc... ive lost touch with friends because they got married and had kids and didnt have time for single girls like myself, but Im holding out for 'The ONE'. This guy Im dating could be it. As long as he relaxes about time apart. I cannot be glued to anyones side, its not me.
I was with a guy from age 19 to age 28. We bought a house when I was 25 and got engaged when I was 28. The relationship was 9 years before engagement and 5 months engaged before he ended it. Needless to say that left some scars on me that I dont think are fully healed yet. It ended almost 3 years ago so Im doing well and feel ready for a new relationship. However in that relationship we were VERY independant from each other. I knew it was not good to be that seperated but I also know its not good to get upset when your partner is going away for 2 days! LOL
The most Im going to do is get a motorcycle ride (should probably tell him I wont! LOL) or/and get another tattoo... IF I even do those things. He is cool to talk to about stuff, but when it comes down to it maybe he is a little insecure. I tell him all the time how awesome and HOT I think he is. I mean it too! I just hope he chills out. Its not all that bad!
Unfortunately this trip just falls on a weekend he does not have his kids and we usually have a date night or something and so he does not have the kids or me this weekend.. I know that bums him out. It bums me out too, but it is what it is. No biggie.. many more weekends in this lifetime!
Thanks for listening and understanding! Sometimes I feel so normal but maybe I am dysfunctional too! LOL
