Saturday night I spent time with Mr. A. Had a very pleasant night. It was so cold, we stayed in and watched movies and dined on a gourmet meal of chicken nuggets from McDonalds. I didn't even want to leave the house to go get food...lol. He said he would go get food and I requested nuggets, yes I know very healthy...ha!
Mr. A and I continue to open up to each other more about our previous lives. We both admit that when we look back that our marriages were not perfect before we were blindsided by the request for divorces from our spouses. Actually, Mr. A received the request for a divorce on his birthday.
Being able to talk to Mr. A reminds of me what was lacking in my marriage...no communication. I remember when I was married always feeling like H and I no longer communicated. It's like we couldn't sit down and carry on a conversation. I remember thinking wow, it would be so nice to have a husband who actually talked.
Mr. A and I talk all the time. Some conversations are deep and some are just....talk...lol. He teases me all the time that I talk a lot, but then will tell me he likes talking to me. I love that he is so smart and challenges me. Yes, he can be opinionated, but so can I. We agree to disagree...lol. It doesn't bother either one of us that we have different opinions on things. I love his sense of humor.
I don't know where our relationship will go, but I am enjoying the ride right now. He is showing that men do more than come home from work, eat and then retire to watch television and never leave the room.
