I'm not sure anyone will remember me. I used to lurk a lot and post in spurts. I haven't been on in awhile.
I'm 35 now, started dating my ym when I was 32 and he was 23. We have had a lot of ups and downs over the last three years. Let's see-- ups-- we were long distance, and after 18 mos, he moved here and moved in with me and my 2 children. He's WONDERFUL with them, and my ex husband and his girlfriend and my bf and I all hang out together and spend holidays together with the kids. We've developed a great working relationship together. He has gotten a great job here, and enrolled back in school to finish his bachelors degree. He graduates this summer. I'm so proud of him. Then we are both going to start on Masters degrees. His parents love me and my dad has come to "accept" our relationship. I won't so far as to say he loves my bf, but he wants me to be happy.
Downs- my mom passed away in 05, very very suddenly and it totally rocked my world. I had no idea how much i loved her and depended on her until she was gone. I miss her so much, every single day. Through it all, my ym has been a rock. He lets me cry whenever I need to and makes me feel better.
We also had a terrible terrible car accident last May that easily could have killed us both. The car was totalled, and he had a bad head injury, but all in all, we were ok.
I think we are at a pivotal point in our relationship. We have talked about getting married for the last 2 years, but I think we are finally at a point where we are both ready. If I had to guess, I'd guess he'll buy me a ring before summer.
His family loves me very much, but I still think they are dealing with the idea that I've been married before, have 2 kids, am older than him, "took" him away from them when he moved from their town to mine, and the fact that he and I do not want more children. It's a lot for them to deal with.
Just wanted to say hello. I hope to be here more often now!
