You may have seen my previous thread about my recent parental alienation and narcissistic/toxic marriage. After many years of projected accusations, physical/emotional/verbal abuse. I still have yet to see my daughter....it has been several weeks now. Which has been heartbreaking, I have not been sleeping or eating.
To cut a long story short, I have met someone. At first I thought fuck my ex and this is a two fingers up to him. All of my close friends have said that life is too short and I should just enjoy my life, along with my counseller. So, Initially we were on the phone for hours and struck a cord. Then we were supposed to meet up for coffee.
With the Christmas looming, I must admit I did not want to be lonely. The man in question has been single for 2 years and separated from a 20 year relationship. From also a narcissistic relationship with kids.
So, we have spent several days together (including xmas and nye) and he has been driving 160 mile trips to see me. Coffee became dinner, shopping trips... I have been wined and dined, taken out and all jobs in my home have been done. (Which my ex did not complete)
He is such a lovely person and so open and caring that it all feels bizarre. Very easy going and we have a lot in common. He has has been talking about relocating in 6 months so that he can be closer to me. Which was a big wow!!! Within the past several days, I have been sleeping and eating.
He has officially asked me to be his girlfriend...
My walls are bit up as I am worried about being hurt.....
Reality will set back in as we go back to work on Monday. I certainly wonder if this is all a whirlwind?
I dunno just thought I would put this out there.... what do you think?
