In 20 years i have never been this content !!

[maltesers]

I am not sure why i want to post this.
I suppose its just a statement !
Maybe i am unusual but i am happier now than i have been since my oldest son (22yrs) was born. I have had a terrible time of it with 3 relationships. The first to the father of my older 2 children. He was very self centred and made me so unhappy. Then a 3 yr relationship with a violent man who treated me really vary badly. And then an 8 year relationship with the father of my 9 yr old who in the last 2 yrs became aggressive towards me. I know i have chosen so very badly my partners in the past . I was foolish and impetuous. I have been to hell and back.
Finally now i have chosen someone who is so lovely. He is kind , caring, loving, and sweet. Considerate and patient. I wish i had met and chosen him 23 yrs ago.
At last i am happy, content, not anxious and uptight.
I can, however, easily dissolve into tears when talking about certain things.
Can anyone relate to all this ??

I wish!!

Congratulations... x

Yes- keep reminding yourself that you deserve this and be grateful for your lovely dcs. Most people make relationship decisions that go awry at some point or other, your emotional times are normal- they will decrease as time goes on. Enjoy your happiness

Yes, my DH is this wonderful ( and more, to me!) I hope everything goes as well for you as this one has for me - and it's nice to hear someone say somethings positive for a change!
I may not know you, but I'm happy for you nonetheless!

There are plenty of women on here who will find your story inspiring. Maybe they are stuck with men that make them miserable and your story will give them hope for the future. So that's a very good reason for posting this.

Thankyou guys. . .yes, it does give you people hope that eventually you can (if you want it ) find happiness and a good partner who treats you nicely.
At last i can be me and feel appreciated and full of self esteem. Something which i didnt have for many many years.
The motto is:- If you want something badly enough, you will go out there and get it.
I hope you mnetters who are suffering in a bad relationship or have split up eventually find a good man / and , or happiness in your life.

Have just kicked out adulterous dh this week, so this is nice to read some hope.

Well done. . .good for you.. . . .i wish i had had the courage to kick out my Ex. . .and a long time sooner, , ,before he started getting aggressive.

How nice to read threads like this from time to time. I am so happy for you! Enjoy every minute of your new life. Congratulations!!!

You got there in the end. And knowing what you know, you appreciate it all the more.

I salute you !
