Tell me about falling in love again :)

[Thetellyisjelly]

Give me all the fluff and romantic bits. I want to hear nice stories .
Tell me about being swept off your feet when you least expected it, serendipitous moments, ‘clicking’ with somebody unexpectedly.
Fluttery feelings, overcoming the fear of being hurt (again!)
Am fairly recently separated (long relationship, kids etc) ... give me hope !!

Decided to leave my husband at the age of 34 - long story but I wanted kids, he didnt so whilst I was reasonably happy I made the leap and left him to give myself a chance of having a family but never really thought it would happen.

3 months after leaving I met my now dp. I felt like I had been hit by a bus when I met him. Hadn't felt like that since I was 16 and the first few weeks were a whirlwind. I couldn't eat - to the point I lost so much weight I was scared - I didnt do any work instead just stared at a photo of him all day, I thought I would be fired, could listen to him talk for hours about stuff I wasnt interested in, I didnt care I just liked listening to him.

It was magical. 5 years and 2 kids later he still gives me the wobbles when i look at him. Cant believe i so nearly settled for less.

I had my heart broken about 6.5 years ago when my ex left me and our 1 yr old.

3 years later by random chance I went to a meeting I wasn't meant to be at (someone was ill and a college asked me to do the minutes as a favour). Stupid as it sounds the minute my now DH spoke to me that day (to ask of the tea and coffee was for everyone) I felt like I'd had an electric shock. I could feel him sneaking glances at me all meeting. He brought his cup over to where I was clearing up after and we got chatting. It was literally like we'd know each other our whole lives. The spark was instant. He took my email address on the pretence of some follow up info I'd need and it just went from there. We're now married with 2 kids of our own (17 months and 5 weeks) and is the most amazing stepdad today my eldest

I resigned myself I single mum life and the fact I'd never find love again. I'm forever grateful to that person who was ill because the idea id have missed meeting my soul mate (something I didn't believe in before meeting DH I was a cynic) is crazy

Omg these are perfect!
Just the ticket :)
Thank you both !

I’ve told my story so many times on here it’s a wonder someone else hasn’t cut and pasted it.
After a 33 year marriage following the marriage breakdown from hell and the divorce from hell
I went on old when the ink from my di or was barely dry.
I met dh after chatting to him for 6 weeks
We got on so well..we decorated it was love after 5 weeks
I was 56 and he was 55 so no spring chickens
Got married after 7 years at 63 on Tenerife surrounded by all my family and friends
Was a magical day and we’ve been married over 4 years now
Still stupidly in love with him

We decided...lol

@dowser that’s so lovely 😊

I fell in love with someone else i worked with who was so single but a lovely man, popular but quirky and we both shared the same hobby which we both participated in together with others..hill walking!

I told no one bar 1 person and he never knew either as he liked someone else we both knew.

I thought I never stood a chance but it gave me the push I needed to end my abusive and at times violent relationship with a man who had no teeth and horrendous breath.
I did, me and the kids moved on and I still carried a torch for this lovely man, I had butterflies every time he spoke to me or walked past me and over the next 3 months we got a little closer, he asked me on a date and we've been together nearly 2 years and I adore him still.

I was a mess when I left my ex, traumatised and broke but I'm picking my life up now and I'm in a much better place
