I'm such a dork! I screw up my tag to my new thread every freakin' time I change it! I hate UBBS!
Okay, so I'll try to continue the saga, but SO will be coming over shortly (no D15 tonight!).
Without getting into a great amount of detail [because it was pretty bizarre], some very strange cosmic forces or perhaps it was my good karma came into play during the last week of July.
Just as I decided I was going to start dating, it appears that SO decided he'd made a big mistake. And, just as SO decided he was going to move forward with me, the guy I'd selected to start dating suddenly turned psycho on me! (Needy, demanding, pushy...very, VERY strange.) So, within the course of a week, it was easy for me to shut him down from dating.
On Sunday, July 31, 2 weeks after SO told me not to wait for him, we met again for a beer in the afternoon. It was then and there that he told me he was afraid he would loose me for ever. It was then and there that he told me I am the woman he wants to marry; spend the rest of his life with; call Mrs. SO.
I was shocked, amazed, astounded, giddy, giggly as a school girl.
Later that night we played Romeo and Juliette and he climbed into my bedroom window and we ML for the first time in eleven and a half months. By August 12, 26 yo OW2 was toast.
We have been blissfully dating ever since.
More later on some of the barriers we have encountered that might have been mountains in the past, but we've been able to make molehills out of them so far. Yay us!
