An extraordinary day

Greetings folks,

Today is my 20th wedding anniversary.

As my wife and I are still legally married, but separated, we can say we've been "married for 20 years (of hard marriage)".

My day started rather ordinarily, but as I was walking to work this morning, I got a text from the guy I met on Tuesday. That's when the floodgates opened...:dry:

We texted back and forth almost non-stop until 4:30 this afternoon (when the phone battery died). Around midday, I meekly pleaded for a time-out to get some work done, that didn't last long... :icon_bigg...honestly I don't know how he got away with all the time it took him to text me.

We talked about my divorce, about love, relationships...he pranked me by saying that he needed to get married right away because he would be deported in 3 months and I had to hurry the divorce...:dry:...taken aback, I neither said yes nor no...he must have been in tears laughing his ass off...I like that, when someone teases you, there's real affection there...

During our texting marathon, my youngest sister called me. She is the only one of my three sisters that I haven't come out to yet. She has issues with OCD and I wanted to do this carefully, but I was in such a state that I stepped out of the office and came out to her then and there (we had such a laugh! And of course, she fully supports me).

Right after this, our texting just picked up where we left off! He congratulated me on coming out to my sister...and we just kept going and going, my phone battery slowly but surely waning...

I loved it (with the appropriate guilt added in for basically not working optimally)! At one point I said I didn't want to text him too much because I was afraid of disturbing him; he said the same thing! :lol: it didn't matter...

Ugh, I am giddy like a teenager! And I am certain that our communicating will resume later this evening...

I wish this feeling for all of you, I wish that you all find someone who is willing to bend time for you, and to make things happen...what a ride! (!)

 

No, not a long way off, Dublin Boy! I predict with reasonable certainty that it will happen for you this summer (nothing to base it on, other than to put that thought into your head :icon_bigg)!!!!!

 

Thanks BMC77; God knows, but we are getting along very nicely and we are looking in the same direction. Anything can happen, I am sharing it with you to lift our spirits, not bring you down!

I will take your X2 tears and divide it by 16, so that all that is left is just enough to keep your eyes moist. Then, I will add hope and change into your equation, and square it for good measure.

Keep faith, BMC77!...I have endured a very long time of marital misery; things change, you'll change; and that is what keeps us going!

 

A good friend once told me: "The wise man stays out of the trouble the smart man has to get out of"

You have to be ready for this, and you will be. Nothing stays the same for any of us, you will find your mate, keep the faith!
