The love story blog

Comment Published at 04:5504:5534 comments34 comments36 Visits36 VisitsReport

 A bit of background info for perspective......I had been married for 10 years to an alcoholic who never even sat in the same room with me and the kids for the last 4 of those years.

Then went from the frying pan into the fire. In DV relationship for 5 years

Yes, it was a shit time relationship wise. I could really pick 'em. Needless to say, these relationships had no romance at all,ever. The first one was to drunk to go anywhere and the second, well, you could imagine. Not trying to whinge- this was just how it was.

Third time lucky. I met someone who treated me so well i thought it was too good to be true. Was this man for real? He met me when i had a 3 month old baby plus the other 2 girls, knew what i'd just been through and said to his face that all men were scumbags.

But he didn't give up. We became friends. 

One day i was so tired i just had to have a sleep. "no worries" he said, "i'll look after the kids for a while".

When i woke up, he and the kids had cleaned the entire place from top to bottom. It was emaculate(sp). Not only that, due to my situation, i had lost most of my furniture and stuff. He had bought a new TV stand and bookshelves for the girls, and a computer table!!!!! WOW. I couldn't believe it!!!! 

No one had ever done anything like this in my entire life. Heck, I didn't even know it was possible. My surprise was total.

Yes, we are together and waiting for the arrival of the twins. He makes me feel very special, nothing is a problem between us. I never thought i could have a decent relationship but i was wrong. I do.

Sorry if this isn't all flowery and soppy but thats just not me.

DA, its your turn next!

Re: The love story blog

Heck, you don't have to write something soppy for it to be meaningful. I got a little wet in the eyes  just reading your blog the way it is. But then, I tend to be overly emotional (not that you could tell from looking at me) and cry at most happy endings. I'm glad you had the courage to get out of the two bad relationships. I'm lucky enough to have missed all the bad eggs before I found my husband, who's great, so I haven't been through anything like that myself, but I admire any women who have the courage to believe in themselves and get OUT!

Best of health and luck with the twins!

Re: The love story blog

wow, if anyone deserves to be in such an amazing relationship it's you.  I spent 8 years in a loveless relationship i know how that part of it feels but he was not an alcoholic or violent, (just a complete dropkick) i could not even begin to imagine what that would have been like for you.....best of luck with the twins...

Re: The love story blog

Imm very happy for you that you have finally found the perfect man..I kinda understand what you went through not personally but cos my mum..

My mum was with my dad for 17yrs..They split when i 6.My mum was abused pysically emotionaly and mentaly the whole time..My mum then met someone else and soon later he showed his true colours and my mum went thorugh the whole lot again but worse for 6years...My mum is happily married now and i love my step dad too bits!! he has never mis treated my mum and doesnt yell or nothing.. From seeing what my mum went through for so many years i know not to say with a guy who is violent or mental cos they never change..

Once again im very happy that you are now happy, you deserve it your a great person and a great mum!!

Dannii xxo

Re: The love story blog

haha i thought that was flowery and soppy.. but good flowery and good soppy :) lol

wow, i never realised you'd been through so much...
i'd read your first article but still, reading this, makes me so much more proud of you :)

you soo deserve to have a man that treats you like you should be treated...
and Shane sounds like he is DEFINITELY it :)

the thing i've learnt is, we meet a lot of people in our life...
and just because things don't work out, doesn't mean we weren't supposed to learn things from them...

everything in your life happened or a reason, but now Shane's reason for entering your world is because he is The One for you, the one who will make you whole again and probably already has :)

just remember that you ARE special, and that you DO deserve happiness...
because i am sure that Shane feels exactly this way about you :)

Awww Cath.. if only you were here, I would give you a BIG BIG hug :) hehe

I'm so proud of how far you've come, I'm so happy to call you my friend :)

Anywho, I better go..
Sorry for the ramble. lol

*hugs*

Love Thuy xox

haha sorry for making you go bright red !! lol
hmmm i want some tomatoes now. LOL

hey, you're not a slow learner !
trust me, if you knew half the decisions i made in the last 5 years, you'd think i were a slow learner too. lol
everybody just tends to think the best of people, even when those people don't deserve it... trust me, i know...

*refrains from hugging you, just in case you go bright red again* lol
