All these replies - aren't I lucky to have so many nice cyber friends?
H notices my clothes always and he ALWAYS comments, especially if he likes something I'm wearing, and this first trip to his house is rather MAJOR to me so I'm just obsessing over what to wear. I want to get this right!
Definitely take more notice of clothes, Lou, and tell your W she looks great and she might like that
I never thought of going there as having power. Thanks for saying that.
I'm not so bothered about the EX-OW, it's just she doesn't know we're dating yet and the last time we had any contact was when she asked to be friends via email and I said 'I don't know' because that didn't seem like a wonderful idea. Then according t H she got offended because I didn't say yes and now I don't know what to say to the woman.
Hopefully she'll be in the cellar with Mr. P!
My kids know I wanted to be there for them. They were interviewed a few times as part of the court process, they asked their father for more time with me and he said no at that time.
I told them after the hearing that it wasn't that I didn't want them, I was just worn out. The oldest one definitely realises what went on and I don't think she bears any grudges against me. She doesn't seem to and has never said anything apart from asking why I don't go to her dad's house.
I already feel like Aunty for real, I think that is the problem. If I felt like a proper mum I don't think I would be intimiated by it.
I suppose I have to start somewhere, though.
I really hope stuff like this does lead to the hand-fasting
I've already planned where I want it and everything I can't wait for it to be reality so I can post it on here.
It's a pity I can't post pictures on here too as I could show everyone my 'alternative' wedding, then!
Oh well, I'll just take a deep breath and go for it and I'll blame this site if it goes wrong, lol.
