You are right. There are no guarentees in life at all. My friend's husband's friend is single. He did not want to date a woman with kids. he wanted to build from ground up with a woman like FF. And guess what. he is now 43 and single. He hasn't had those kids, and unless he dates much younger, his pool of single kids with no baggage is very very small now.
I think I might have mentioned on one of my rambling posts that I told him today that I have learned in trying to build the perfect life the way you envision it, you can miss something right in front of your face. Life has no guarentees. You can make something beautiful if you want it enough. I told him to not miss out on what life has to offer because you have a plan.
I actually read that book, KML. Bought after my last breakup. I am a lover, a caretaker, my heart does not know how to love half-assed. My relationships start off strong because I connect with certain people a certain way or I don't connect at all. It's weird.
I am preparing myself for the side chick, although this one I doubt because he still wants to remain in my life. He has never ever stayed friends with an ex, but he wants to be mine so bad.
I do the anti-DB thing and I am wondering if he is hurting. If he's going to miss me. From talking and texting with me from first thing in the morning until night. When we hung out at my house, we didn't watch TV. We talked for hours. Our first date as you all remember we talked until the sun came up and that never ever died down. Now we are cutting it all off. For me right now, I am feeling the pain hardcare. Much harder than I thought I would. I have some anger mixed in there. Because the many moments of joy we had together is still very much alive.
and I am dreading telling D9 tomorrow. I am so dreading it. He helped her with her homework, he taughter how to ride a bike, he got her to overcome many fear (my kid is scared of everything) he came and watched the parents performance at dance school. Took he rout for ice cream, played hop scotch with her. He would hack her ipad and take funny pics. The first thing she always did when she got home and she knew he was over the night before is run to the Ipad to see what pics he left.
