Happy ever afters

[Eve]

After my post the other week I am still none the wiser albeit a bit more the confused and all kinds of other really annoying emotions...

Sooo I am after tales of you happy ever afters and all that stuff (come on, there must be some...), give me some hope haha :)

Have you ever met someone in random or whirlwind circumstances when you were least expecting it, are you happy in your relationship?

I went out with someone in 2002 who I had always thought was lovely and I'd recently met him again at a party so got his number off a mate and txt him to tell him I liked him, he felt the same so we met up and started going out. After a week I got a txt o say he couldnt see me anymore and no explanation. I was distraught and kept txting for a few days and nothing. He broke my heart :-( anyway about 3 years later out of the blue I got a txt saying 'I'm sorry I finished with you' and so for the next 2 years I made him pay!! flowers etc, his drunken nights in pub singing he loved me in front of all his mates. Looking back I was quite a b1atch. But eventually I gave in and have been living with him for 3 years now. And I hope we will grow old together. Although I do always threaten its my turn to dump him next. lol

I met my husband very unexpectedly when neither of us were actually looking for someone serious, we met at a party. I've known him ten years now, it's our fifth wedding anniversary tomorrow....

I'd worked with someone for 8 years and never took any notice of him. One day chatting in a group he was eating chews and I said give us a chewit, he offered it from his mouth (yukky I know) and we have been together now 11 years. It will come from an unexpected source for you.

[ummmm]

We were mates and just started spending more and more time together. I didn't think anything of it because I didn't look at him that way. It was only that my cousin (his mate also) told me that he was so obviously in love with me.....and she was worried that I'd break his heart. I decided that I wasn't going to spend as much time with him but within the week I realised I couldn't do it. The sexual attraction came after that....now I just look at him and have such a nice feeling inside....(when he's awake)

The moral of the story Jenna.....You have to let him know somehow.

I know it was my cousin that told me but according to him he didn't want to say/try anything because I was having a pretty crap time....and he didn't think I was ready to have more confusion dumped on me.

I have never been happier :-)

Ummm if you wondered who just added you on FB that was me :-)

[ummmm]

Oh ok....I haven't logged onto FB yet...will do now x

I met my wife when I was in Germany in 1949 with the army.
It was instant attraction.
However,she couldn't speak much English,and I couldn't speak much German,but we had just enough to know we liked each other.
We got married in 1949,and are still together.
I often tell her that I still can't understand what she is saying! LOL

my bloke says that to me and he's english!

[ummmm]

My bloke doesn't make much sense either....

[Eve]

Awww to you all :)

I know ummmm, a friend said the same to me earlier. I had been so looking forward to this weekend as a load of us were going to Wales. He was going to give me a lift and was really hopeful I'd get to spend some really nice time with him.

Just the two of us met us last night for a bit before we met others and he said one of the other girls who, rumour has it, he had a thing for and still might is giving him a lift now so he suggested I get a lift with another friend.

Felt so miserable after...men!

[Prudie]

Aaww Jenna men can be so insensitive and hey can also flit about at times. Try to look on the bright side

[ummmm]

But he doesn't know how you feel does he?

[Eve]

I think he'd be blind not to but I don't know for sure.

It's a walk up Snowdon and he had said initally he'd take the train up with me as I won't be able to walk it with my arthritis but now he's doing the walk...wonder why...

He had chance to spend time with me, he obviously would prefer not to so I guess that's that really.

I give up!

[ummmm]

Like I said....I was completely blind to it. I just thought we were really good mates. It's not always obvious.

[Eve]

True :) The daft thing is, I asked her a while back if she was interested in him (having heard the rumours) as I didn't want to tread on anyone's toes etc... and she said not!

I'm going to stay clear this weekend, too much else going on I need to sort to risk making myself more miserable. Going to have a nice me weekend with no men around to ruin it :)

I have a sneaking suspicion though that he might end up finding out this weekend from some of the others going who know I like him so will be bracing myself from a distance!

I hate even reading me sounding like this, need to get a grip!

[ummmm]

So he'll probably find out this weekend? At least you'll know one way or another. The limbo must be hard.....

[China Doll]

Just tell him. It's so much easier when these things are out in the open and everyone knows what's what... I would not be bothered with one of those 'does he like me' situations any more, I just don't have the patience.

[snags]

''I just don't have the patience''

Really?

Hey Jenna,

I was happy in my relationship, well I told myself I was but hadnt been for a long while!

Then ended up changing department and working for someone new as our company had gone under so was doing something completely different, (after dodging 5 lots of redundancy and being in the last 20 employees out of 6,500!). I kind of admired my boss from a distance lol! Then one weekend had my hair cut and coloured and he emailed me saying it looked really nice... and it kind of went from there! 2 weeks later I split with my partner, and it has been very happy ever after since!

Although this all only happened end of March, I am happier now then I have been in a very long time, and I guess you could say I was not expecting it, having been with my ex for 6 years, (since I was 17)!

All seems like a lot of big change really sometimes, but definitely for the best :-)
