Well hello there... I've been spotted on another thread and summonsed to report back here with an update on my love life
. I see some familiar names and some not so familiar but hi to all regardless.
Not much to report other than I think my last update was that I had met someone in June last year, a couple of months after my breakup with Mr C who I had been seeing for a year but was incapable of muttering the 3 magic words I needed (and deserved!) to hear.
I am still seeing my new chap, though not so new after 10 months and am happier than I have ever been (and I include my marriage there). We had initially matched online, chatted for a few days, had a minor falling out . He said he smoked, I said sorry, not for me, he called me judgy, I said fine, we wished each other well and stopped chatting. He is a tradesman and said regardless of me being judgy I seemed like a "nice lady" (I am!) and to give him a call if I needed some particular work doing that we had chatted about as he didn't want to see me ripped off by a cowboy. I messaged him a month later, he came round to give me a quote, the minute I opened the front door we were done for, it was like a lightning bolt for both of us - obviously it was lust, but you gotta start somewhere and fancying the pants off each other is as good a place as any I supppose.
We are absolutely smitten with each other and the L words is now exchanged freely and frequently. Been strange starting a relationship in lockdown, we've never been to the the cinema, we've managed a few meals out during various breaks, but we've managed to fit our lives around each other and our other commitments and definitely planning a future together.
I'm grateful every day that I had the balls to end things with Mr C, heartbreaking though it was at the time, which allowed this fantastic man to come into my life. He gave up smoking in January...the things you do for love.
