Where I met my partner?
I met my partner at work, we are both in long term care. I saw Deirdre every day and while I was in a bad marriage at the time and straight, I had a growing attraction to her. I didn't know but she too liked me. It took a lot of looks, conversation and feeling each other out to finally realize we had something. I had some furniture that had to be put together so she came and put it together and I made her supper. Then another time she came over and we talked and she stayed over but in the spare room. I invited her over one weekend with her children and we had a blizzard and we finally took the final step and I was in.
How we fell in love
we were together for about a year and I went away for Christmas and it was on that trip that I realized the depths of my feelings for her, and I told her so many times on very expensive phone calls to home. When I came home we decided to move in together. She always said nice things to me and told me she loved me and that I was the one she wanted to be with forever. Dee had been married to a man as well and with one other woman but she felt I was the one. I held back as I have been hurt before and she always reassured me and eventually won my trust as well as my heart. I know she is the one I want to be with, no one knows the future but I hope she is in it. Unfortunately Dee and I are not living together at this time, we are still in a relationship but because I am a strict parent and she is more flexible her daughter who is 14 didn't take to me very well and so came the split. We are two weeks not together in the same house but I am trying to work it out and she is too but her actions are different than her words. I hope and pray we can work it all out. If not I hope she finds what she is looking for and can be happy. She will always be special to me and someone who made me feel special and loved
Advice
- My advise is to take a chance, and to tread lightly where children are concerned, blended families are very hard and different upbringings and parenting styles can be difficult and make or break a relationship
