My choice in men has never been great, I guess it was ok apart from last one who was controlling and emotionally abusive. I just didn't see it at the time. Thats in the past and I have been single for 2 years, in my 40's with 2 kids. I am independent, have own house, car and just massively struggled to get myself through uni and re-train and now have a well paid job. Things are all good for a change!
I have been having quotes for various works on the house and one of the guys that came just made me feel all funny and stuff inside. He was gentle, handsome in a manly sort of way (!) and he just did it for me. I haven't feel like this in 2 years so was a bit of a shock. Anyway, over the next few weeks we messaged over the job and then he sent me a text saying he'd finished the design for me and could he take me out for a drink to discuss. I was very shocked! I said yes.
So last week we met and it turns out he has only very recently split from wife of 15 years, and literally just moved out house. That's fine, bit soon but not my business.
I guess the concerns are that he is saying he is fed up of his business and going to sell his assets and do something else. He doesn't know what yet, has always been self-employed and done very well. He says he wants to simplify his life and he doesn't have great work ethic. I struggle with that.. I've always worked hard. He has an additional source of income and will prob look to work for someone else for a couple of days a week in meantime.
He;s looking for a house to rent, one of the kids will remain with him. I guess the main thing which I've left til last is drink. He said his wife would flip if he came in and had a cold beer after a days work. He was only allowed out once a week. Stuff like that. He has been drinking a lot, which might be a new found freedom.....
Thoughts anyone?
