kml thanks Winnings? other than finding the love of my life? I won a Dave & Buster's $200 gift card at the begining of the year. That's been about it.
sunfunone - you certainly did, amongst many others
I can honestly say I am somewhat ashamed of how I was when I came to these boards. I was desparate. Things were already over, there was no saving - he was already gone, I just didn't know it because of all the lies and deception.
Oddly enough my mom ran into XH recently, he said hello and went to the other end of the store to checkout. He is still married to W2 with 2 kids. Not sure if I ever mentioned, they filed banktruptcy.
I've finally cut all ties to XH and his family, only thing truly left is the last name. I don't want to pay over $100 to change it now, I'll change it if/when I get married again It's honestly SUCH a hassle to change a name. File court papers, pay fees - then go through changing EVERYTHING. From social security card, credit cards, shopper cards, license, deed, mortgage, utilities, work, email, etc etc etc etc. I'm not going through all that back to back.
Oh, and xbf - he's been seeing the same girl since we broke up. She forced him to get a job, but I guess she keeps track of all spending. He is behind on his bills - I'm getting his collection calls. Lovely. His mom is paying his bills. His brother has helped fix my car a couple times and he's sort of done with his brother.
If anyone remembers the 'friend' that sort of got between xbf and I - we recently started talking a bit again. I'm very very cautious. My 1 (previously) good 'friend' since elementary school that cared so much for me, but I didn't feel the same - I haven't talked to him in over a year There was a whole incident when I went out of town and he said he'd let my dog out, but didn't really. After getting my key back, we haven't talked. I tried reaching out, twice, sent him messages trying to find out what happened. Nothing.
OH, and the creep I dated 2001 Jan-March, crazy and weird. He went to high school with my BF! He emailed again, I had to file a police report and go to prosecutor's office - they sent him a letter telling him to STOP all communication - email/fax/text/call/facebook/etc.
BF and I are both so happy, we both LOVE our relationship & love each other SO much! Neither of us had any idea life, love, could be like this, this wonderful. Honestly. It sounds all mush and fluff, but it is the truth.
I wish this for EVERYONE!
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
