Friend is away for a couple of days for a stag do. He doesn't normally drink so guessing not much would render him quite drunk. Last night I received a text at 1am but didn't see it till this morning. It was written terribly with a lot of typos and repeated letters in words so took me a few moments to understand what it said. The coherent version...without some random stuff at the beginning..

"Juyetii, poppy. I miss you. I wish you were here with me. Its so fucking beautiful. So so beautiful. Is it too late to tell you how I feel. You're the one. Let's go back to the beginning. I'm just wasting time. I know it might be complicated but it doesn't matter. it will be okay. I'm too fucking scared to tell you. I wish you feel the same.

I haven't received anything from him yet nor have I replied. I don't know what to make it of it really. Im pretty sure he was drunk when he sent it. Does he actually mean it if he was drunk? Do I bring it up / ignore it?! I've been thinking about it all day!

What a beautiful, heart warming thread!

Seems that you have made a lot of people on here happy, as we enjoyed the drama/suspense and the lovely outcome! ❤

So have you snogged him yet?

Hope it works out and there's a happy ever after ending!

Oh my word! I am hooked on this thread! It's like the Happy Ever After films!!

Awaiting to hear how amazing the snog was 😅

Shamelessly bookmarking for updates.

@juyeti Good luck, hope it works out for you both and the children.

I hope this works out for you and the drunk text was the catalyst for the best romance and relationship ever.
I was in a 'complicated' relationship like this during Uni, we had the best time and respected our different beliefs, it taught me so much. Sadly traditions of arranged marriage and family pressures meant we were forced to parted ways.
The last kiss and waving off the train were one of the hardest moments, knowing my best friend was going off to marry a stranger they despised.
I think about them often with fondness and hope they found happiness, they truly deserved too.
I'm sending my best wishes that karma has connected you both up and that your future is beautiful together.
It's lovely to read about.....

Justmeellie · 29/07/2023 22:43

Oh I really hope it went well for you ❤️

Effingmagicfairy · 29/07/2023 22:43

Treesinmygarden · 29/07/2023 23:01

This is just heartwarming! Love it. You must be floating on air! Dying to hear the update.

As for the 'complications' - they are nothing you can't work around.

🙄at how many idiots have comments without RTFT!!!

JournalistEmily · 29/07/2023 23:03

I'm thinking we'll need a hat 👒 🤣

Mumdalgarno · 29/07/2023 23:59

Could you elaborate about what he wrote about 'going back to the begining'?
I'm so happy for you and the thousands of posters who all like a beautiful happy ever after.

I wish you both all the best 🥰

commenting for the update notification….!! 😅

@juyeti I am like the others, placemarking for the wedding (though I am amazed that some mumsnetters cannot see a "watch thread" in a big purple blob right above the thread), congratulations on your discovery that your gorgeous friend loves you 😍

And is it only obvious to me that @TheAngryFeminist is simply indulging in some surreal humour, judging by both the name and the content? @TheAngryFeminist you are very funny!

@Letterposter that's so lovely. 😊 I hope ours will have a happy ending too.

I'm meeting him this afternoon. His plane will be touch down anytime soon. Can't wait too see him!

Just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed reading this thread and what you have said and what the majority have said too. It's given me a lovely warm glow.

My 2nd husband and I were friends when we got together. Relationships based on friendship first are far stronger and long-lasting.

I, too, was a single parent when I met my husband. I had a difficult background, having fled abuse and the aftermath of it all.

My husband took it all on with our now adult children who see him as the dad he didn't have to be. He didn't come with any baggage either, so we are really blessed.

My daughter is in a mixed-race relationship. My daughter is white British. Her partner is ftom Haiti and Caribbean.

They have one little boy and another on the way. Yes, they do get some problems with racism. However, they are strong and work through it.

I just wanted to give you two scenarios in my family and say you will work through any problems you have.

I wish you both all the love and happiness I found with my
2nd husband.

Go for it and enjoy. You both deserve it 🩷

Maybe a "i think you have texted the wrong person , but whoever she is , she's dead lucky...!"
This way ...you give him a get out of jail free card ...but you aren't saying "eff off grasshopper " you are saying "i acknowledge your beauty...i appreciate it ...but i did not think it was possible ..." and it could be taken as JUST a compliment.....

kerryelaine100 · 30/07/2023 01:48

He MEANS that babe … it’s not something you’d ever write unless it was true .. sometimes people use being drunk as an excuse to reveal their true feelings to someone ❤️

slore · 30/07/2023 02:47

Now you've got the confirmation he actually meant it, tell him everything you've told mumsnetters! He'll be so chuffed that you secretly liked him too.
