Hi PJ.
I've not been on here for quite some time now but popped back today and your posts have really touched me. The amazing people on this forum helped me through a devastating time a number of years ago. To cut a very long story short, My ex husband (my only partner) left me and my two beautiful little girls on Boxing Day for his mistress and her 3 children. We had been together 18 years. My children went through a living nightmare and I had a breakdown. I couldn't see how anyone would want me and to be honest I didn't want to be in that situation ever again. Then out of the blue, a young man came into my life through work. I thought of him as a friend and never dreamed he would be interested in me (he is 13 years younger than me!) Slowly I realised that he had feelings for me and it scared me senseless! We took things slowly, my girls adored him from day 1 which is the most important thing to me, but we have now been married for 2 amazing years! People tell me that things happen for a reason and that fate brought us together.
I'm so pleased for you, wishing you a lifetime of happiness. xx
