NC
My DP and I are coming to the end of the road. One of those unfortunate 'we both have a different vision for the future' kind of endings where you're both sad to break up, but you both know it's right (along the lines of one is moving abroad, one definitely is not moving abroad, or one wants kids, one doesn't).
I'm been coming to terms with it for a while now.
I had envisioned marriage and kids with DP so am coming to terms with my life being different to that, and slightly aghast at the idea of having to start again from scratch with someone new (but also excited at the idea of a relationship where there isn't this big 'issue' between us?)

The idea of going on a date or getting a dating app or essentially putting myself out there is terrifying to me- I thought I was done with all that!

So AIBU to ask you to cheer me up by giving me hope with telling me the random place or way you met your DP?

Did you meet at work? At a running club? On a train? In Tesco?

Been with DP only 3 months but we've known each other 15 years.
Now seemed like a good time to give things a go

Tinder 😳
It took almost 3 years to find him.

He is wonderful and I never thought I’d find someone like him.

Tesco. Honestly.

Fell over him in a bookshop (he was sitting on the floor reading). His big head broke my collarbone. He took me out a week later to apologise. I went to his that day, never left, we married 9 weeks later.

Our eyes met over the chargebar in our local police station....that's the interesting way to say we met at work!

Hired him to move me out of the house I shared with my ex 🤣 paid him too much apparently and he offered to take me out for a drink with the cash! We moved in together almost straight away, was pregnant very quickly and we got married last year 🙂
