I've had some fucking shit over the years, proper wanker family stuff, nc from half of them, and also some terribly abusive relationships. It reached a pinnacle about ten years ago and I was a single mum of three for about seven years. I was often very, very lonely, but totally couldn't imagine being in a successful relationship, as I didn't believe there was such thing for me.
About five years ago I was introduced to the loveliest man, and after a year of getting to know him as a friend, we got together. Everything about how we got together was heartwarming. We have been a couple for four years and we moved in together about a year and a half ago. We're getting married next spring and I'm bloody excited to be a bride for the first time at 38. He's all of the things I could have wished for - seriously. I feel so lucky.
I'd love to hear about others happy relationships. I never believed this could happen for me, and I'm wondering if others have similar experiences?
